Jena - John Mellencamp Music Video
Johns statement about "Jena" "I am not a journalist, I am a songwriter and in the spirit and tradition of the minstrel, I am telling a story in this song. The story is not, strictly speaking, about the town of Jena or this specific incident but of racism in America. The song was not written as an indictment of the people of Jena but, rather, as a condemnation of racism, a problem which Ive reflected in many songs, a problem that still plagues our country today. The current trial in Jena is just another reflection of prejudice in our nation. If the song strikes an emotional chord with people and if they examine it and interpret as they will, something will have been accomplished. The aim here is not to antagonize but, rather, to catalyze thought." John Mellencamp has been in the studio working with producer T Bone Burnett on an intriguing new album. John has made a video for one of the new tracks titled "Jena." Due to the newsworthy subject matter covered in the song, John did not delay releasing the video. The song and video are inspired by todays headlines about the Jena Six. Jena, Louisiana Six black teenagers are accused of beating a white student. The incident followed white students hanging nooses from a tree on school grounds. Initially five of the "Jena Six" teens were charged with attempted 2nd degree murder, to be tried as adults by an all-white jury. "Jena" lyrics An all white jury hides the executioners face See how we are, me and you? Everyone here needs to know their place Lets 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 well wipe that smile right off your face Weve 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
