John Mellencamp Jena Lyrics

Jena Lyrics

An all white jury hides the executioners face

See how we are, me and you?

Everyone here needs to know their place

Let's keep this blackbird hidden in the flue



Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Take your nooses down



So what becomes of boys that cannot think straight?

Particularly those with paper bag skin

Yes sir, no sir, we'll wipe that smile right off your face

We got our rules here and you must fit in



Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Take your nooses down



Someday some way sanity will prevail

But who knows when that day might come

A shot in the dark, well it just might find its way

To the hearts of those that hold the keys to kingdom come



Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Take those nooses down



Oh, hey Jena

Oh, Jena

Oh, Jena

Take your nooses down

Take those nooses off now
