John Mellencamp – Case 795 (the Family) Lyrics 
Share
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
