Текст песни Jena (John Mellencamp) с переводом

An all white jury hides the executioner’s 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 oh oh Jena

Oh oh oh Jena

Oh oh 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’ve got our rules here and you must fit in

Oh oh oh Jena

Oh oh oh Jena

Oh oh oh Jena

Take your nooses down

Some day 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 oh oh Jena

Oh oh oh Jena

Oh oh oh Jena

Take those nooses down

Oh oh hey Jena

Oh oh Jena

Oh oh Jena

Take your nooses down

Take those nooses all down
