[00:19.03] It ain't fair, John Sinclair
[00:21.70] In the stir for breathing air
[00:24.37] Won't you care for John Sinclair?
[00:27.01] In the stir for breathing air
[00:29.85] Let him be, set him free
[00:32.44] Let him be like you and me
[00:37.20] They gave him ten for two
[00:39.86] What else can the judges do?
[00:42.46] Gotta, gotta, gotta, ... set him free
[00:54.70] If he'd been a soldier man
[00:56.94] Shooting gooks in Vietnam
[00:59.78] If he was the CIA
[01:02.48] Selling dope and making hay
[01:05.31] He'd be free, they'd let him be
[01:08.11] Breathing air, like you and me
[01:12.95] They gave him ten for two
[01:15.73] What else can the judges do?
[01:18.27] Gotta, gotta, gotta, ... set him free
[01:48.18] They gave him ten for two
[01:51.01] They got Ali Otis too.
[01:53.39] Gotta, gotta, gotta, ... set him free
[02:04.76] Was he jailed for what he done?
[02:06.93] Or representing everyone
[02:09.88] Free John now, if we can
[02:12.41] From the clutches of the man
[02:15.26] Let him be, lift the lid
[02:17.79] Bring him to his wife and kids
[02:22.51] They gave him ten for two
[02:25.09] What else can the bastards do?
[02:27.84] Gotta, gotta, gotta, ... set him free
