[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Take your nooses down
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Take your nooses down
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Take those nooses down
Oh, hey, Jena
Oh, Jena
Oh, Jena
Take your nooses down
Take those nooses all down
