George Jackson |
| I woke up this morning, Tears were in my bed |
| They killed a man I really loved, Shot him in the head |
| Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down |
| Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground |
| They sent him off to prison, For a seventy dollar robbery |
| They closed the door behind him, And threw away the key |
| He didn’t take shit from no one, He wouldn’t bow down on his knee |
| Authorities they hate him, Because he was just too real, just too real |
| The prison guard they watched him, They crushed him like a bug |
| Frightened of his power, They we scared of all his love and hey hey! |
| Sometimes I think the whole wide world |
| Is one big prison yard |
| Where some of us are prisoners and |
| Some of us are guards. |
| Yeah Hey! |
| They laid him in the ground |
| They laid him in the ground |
| They laid him in the ground |
| Woe Jackson, George Jackson, Yes Jackson, Woe Jackson |
| I want to confess, There is no justice |
| Lift up your voices, In times of protest |
| Lordy lord they laid him in the ground |
| Woe Jackson George Jackson, Oh Jackson Want Justice |
| A voice of protest, And frustration |
| Within a system, Of deception |
| Lordy Lord Hey! |
| Lordy lord Hey. |
| yeahee! |
