George Jackson - Steel Pulse

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!
