|
I woke up this morning, Tears were in my bed |
|
They killed a man I really loved, Shot him in the head |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
|
Chorus |
|
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 |
|
Chorus |
|
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! |
|
Chorus |
|
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! |
