	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
	Chorus:
	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
	Chorus:
	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
	Chorus:
	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
