[00:32.16]Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze
[00:35.54]Eldest child of Willy and Louise
[00:39.09]His little sister died at the age of four
[00:43.62]
[00:45.05]The family posed led by Louise
[00:47.96]Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene
[00:51.75]But Jake couldn't fake it anymore
[00:55.87]
[00:57.97]Nobody heard the hammer falling
[01:01.12]Sensed that judgement day was calling
[01:04.43]Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[01:09.27]
[01:10.80]Everybody loves to point their finger
[01:13.85]They might as well have pulled the trigger
[01:17.20]Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
[01:21.62]
[01:23.61]Willy later said he really should've known
[01:26.75]The boy spent too much time on his own
[01:30.26]And what was on his mind God only knew
[01:34.62]
[01:36.35]One by one the neighbors went away
[01:39.62]A gruesome little game Jake taught himself to play
[01:43.13]His daddy always said find something to do
[01:47.25]
[01:49.28]Nobody heard the hammer falling
[01:52.42]Sensed that judgement day was calling
[01:55.57]Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[02:00.15]
[02:02.15]Everybody loves to point their finger
[02:05.15]They might as well have pulled the trigger
[02:08.36]Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
[02:12.88]
[02:15.78]One less mistake to think about
[02:21.23]Cause no one read the writing on the wall
[02:25.85]
[02:28.40]So much for case 1239
[02:33.54]
[02:34.13]Covered up curled up in a ball
[02:39.86]
[03:06.07]One little page in the history of crime
[03:09.86]Lawyers made a fortune for their time
[03:12.87]Seems an explanation was never found
[03:17.55]
[03:18.90]And I hope this tale won't be misunderstood
[03:22.37]Things ain't the same in every neighborhood
[03:25.97]But before you go to sleep tonight
[03:29.73]
[03:32.23]Look around
[03:33.80]
[03:35.81]Nobody heard the hammer falling
[03:38.96]Sensed that judgement day was calling
[03:42.22]Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[03:46.75]
[03:48.66]Everybody loves to point their finger
[03:51.96]They might as well have pulled the trigger
[03:55.01]Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
