《Case 795(the family)》歌词

[00:00:00] Case 795(the family) - John Mellencamp

[00:00:36] Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones

[00:00:40] On their first anniversary

[00:00:41] Down in Dallas Texas

[00:00:44] In a small apartment

[00:00:46] With nobody present

[00:00:48] He pulled out a knife

[00:00:50] And he stuck it to her

[00:00:52] He left her bleeding

[00:00:54] On the floor in the kitchen

[00:00:57] With cake on her fingers

[00:00:59] And her wedding ring holding

[00:01:01] In her hand was a note

[00:01:02] That said the wicked must suffer

[00:01:05] And he drove off quickly

[00:01:07] To his girlfriend's apartment

[00:01:10] But who really suffers in the end

[00:01:14] It's easy enough for us to pretend that

[00:01:19] Everything's all right with the family

[00:01:23] Everything is safe here at home

[00:01:28] Everything's all right with the family

[00:01:32] The beds are made

[00:01:33] But there's no sheets on

[00:01:54] From the courtroom stand Tony

[00:01:55] Said he was sorry

[00:01:57] That he was sad and mixed up

[00:02:00] And he didn't know

[00:02:01] What he was doing

[00:02:02] That he'd always loved Alice and

[00:02:04] He begged for forgiveness

[00:02:06] So he threw himself on the

[00:02:08] Mercy of the jury

[00:02:11] And he told how his father

[00:02:12] Had beat and abused him

[00:02:15] Back in grade school

[00:02:17] In the basement den

[00:02:19] And that maybe prison

[00:02:21] Was the best thing for him

[00:02:24] And he said "Oh God

[00:02:25] Can You forgive me " Yeah

[00:02:29] But who really suffers in the end

[00:02:32] It's easy enough for us

[00:02:35] All to pretend that

[00:02:37] Everything's all right with the family

[00:02:41] Everything is safe here at home

[00:02:46] Everything's all right with the family

[00:02:50] The beds are made

[00:02:51] But there's no sheets on

[00:03:38] How many days does

[00:03:40] It take to make us weak

[00:03:43] And how many hours do

[00:03:44] People spend lonely

[00:03:47] In the heart of the heart

[00:03:49] The family lay dying

[00:03:51] The ruin of a nation lies

[00:03:53] At our feet yeah

[00:04:04] Everything's all right with the family

[00:04:08] Everything is safe here at home

[00:04:13] Everything's all right with the family

[00:04:17] The beds are made

[00:04:18] But there's no sheets on

[00:04:22] Everything's all right

[00:04:23] With the family

[00:04:26] Everything is safe

[00:04:27] Here at home

[00:04:30] Everything's all right

[00:04:32] With the family

[00:04:34] The beds are made

[00:04:36] But there's no sheets on
