John Mellencamp - Case 795 (The Family) Lyrics

Send "Case 795 (The Family)" ringtone to your cell

Tony jones stabbed alice jones

On their first anniversary down in dallas texas

In a small apartment with nobody present

He pulled out a knife and he stuck it to her

He left her bleeding on the floor in the kitchen

With cake on her fingers and her wedding ring holding

In her hand was a note that said the wicked must suffer

And he drove off quickly to his girlfriend's apartment

But who really suffers in the end?

It's easy enough for us to pretend that

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made but there's no sheets on

From the courtroom stand tony said he was sorry

That he was sad and mixed up and he didn't know what he was doing

That he'd always loved alice and he begged for forgiveness

So he threw himself on the mercy of the jury

And he told how his father had beat and abused him

Back in grade school in the basement den

And that maybe prison was the best thing for him

And he said "oh god can you forgive me?" yeah

But who really suffers in the end?

It's easy enough for us all to pretend that

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made but there's no sheets on

How many days does it take to make us weak?

And how many hours do people spend lonely?

In the heart of the heart the family lay dying

The ruin of a nation lies at our feet yeah

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made but there's no sheets on

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made but there's no sheets on
