[00:32.47] Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze
[00:35.62] Eldest child of Willy and Louise
[00:39.35] His little sister died at the age of four
[00:45.16] The family posed, led by Louise
[00:48.51] Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene
[00:52.09] But Jake couldn't fake it anymore
[00:55.21]
[00:58.12] Nobody heard the hammer falling
[01:01.14] Sensed that judgement day was calling
[01:04.45] Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[01:11.08] Everybody loves to point their finger
[01:14.03] They might as well have pulled the trigger
[01:17.45] Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
[01:21.41]
[01:23.80] Willy later said he really should've known
[01:26.95] The boy spent too much time on his own
[01:30.43] And what was on his mind, God only knew
[01:36.52] One by one the neighbors went away
[01:39.87] A gruesome little game Jake taught himself to play
[01:43.40] His daddy always said, "find something to do"
[01:47.06]
[01:49.43] Nobody heard the hammer falling
[01:52.57] Sensed that judgement day was calling
[01:55.73] Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[02:02.30] Everybody loves to point their finger
[02:05.47] They might as well have pulled the trigger
[02:08.64] Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
[02:12.53]
[02:16.31] One less mistake to think about
[02:21.59] Cause no one read the writing on the wall
[02:28.69] So much for case 1239
[02:34.40] Covered up, curled up in a ball
[02:39.03]
[03:06.42] One little page in the history of crime
[03:10.01] Lawyers made a fortune for their time
[03:13.15] Seems an explanation was never found
[03:19.13] And I hope this tale won't be misunderstood
[03:22.64] Things ain't the same in every neighborhood
[03:26.25] But before you go to sleep tonight
[03:29.28]
[03:32.60] Look around
[03:34.09]
[03:35.77] Nobody heard the hammer falling
[03:39.14] Sensed that judgement day was calling
[03:42.30] Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
[03:48.87] Everybody loves to point their finger
[03:51.99] They might as well have pulled the trigger
[03:55.24] Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
[04:00.34]
