George Jackson lyrics with English Translations
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
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
He didn't take sh*t from no one He wouldn't bow down on his knee Authorities they hate him Because he was just too real, just too real
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
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!
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
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.. yea hee!
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
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
He didn't take sh*t from no one He wouldn't bow down on his knee Authorities they hate him Because he was just too real, just too real
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
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!
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
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.. yea hee!
