1
Tony jones stabbed alice jones
2
On their first anniversary
3
Down in dallas, texas
4
In a small apartment
5
With nobody present
6
He pulled out a knife
7
And he stuck it to her
8
He left her bleeding
9
On the floor in the kitchen
10
With cake on her fingers
11
And her wedding ring holding
12
In her hand was a note
13
That said the wicked must suffer
14
And he drove off quickly
15
To his girlfriend's apartment
16
But who really suffers in the end?
17
It's easy enough for us to pretend that
18
Chorus:
19
Everything's all right with the family
20
Everything is safe here at home
21
Everything's all right with the family
22
The beds are made but there's no sheets on
23
From the courtroom stand
24
Tony said he was sorry
25
That he was sad and mixed up
26
And he didn't know what he was doing
27
That he'd always loved alice
28
And he begged for forgiveness
29
So he threw himself
30
On the mercy of the jury
31
And he told how his father
32
Had beat and abused him
33
Back in grade school
34
In the basement den
35
And that maybe prison
36
Was the best thing for him
37
And he said, "oh god, can you forgive me?" yeah
38
But who really suffers in the end?
39
It's easy enough for us all to pretend that
40
Chorus:
41
Everything's all right with the family
42
Everything is safe here at home
43
Everything's all right with the family
44
The beds are made but there's no sheets on
45
How many days does it take to make us weak?
46
And how many hours do people spend lonely?
47
In the heart of the heart the family lay dying
48
The ruin of a nation lies at our feet, yeah
49
Chorus:
50
Everything's all right with the family
51
Everything is safe here at home
52
Everything's all right with the family
53
The beds are made but there's no sheets on
54
Everything's all right with the family
55
Everything is safe here at home
56
Everything's all right with the family
57
The beds are made but there's no sheets on
