[03:56.00]I woke up this morning, Tears were in my bed
[03:56.00]They killed a man I really loved, Shot him in the head
[03:56.00]Chorus:
[03:56.00]Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down
[03:56.00]Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
[03:56.00]They sent him off to prison, For a seventy dollar robbery
[03:56.00]They closed the door behind him, And threw away the key
[03:56.00]Chorus
[03:56.00]He didn't take **** from no one, He wouldn't bow down on his knee
[03:56.00]Authorities they hate him, Because he was just too real, just too real
[03:56.00]Chorus
[03:56.00]The prison guard they watched him, They crushed him like a bug
[03:56.00]Frightened of his power, They we scared of all his love and hey hey!
[03:56.00]Sometimes I think the whole wide world
[03:56.00]Is one big prison yard
[03:56.00]Where some of us are prisoners and
[03:56.00]Some of us are guards. Yeah Hey!
[03:56.00]Chorus
[03:56.00]They laid him in the ground
[03:56.00]They laid him in the ground
[03:56.00]They laid him in the ground
[03:56.00]Woe Jackson, George Jackson, Yes Jackson, Woe Jackson
[03:56.00]I want to confess, There is no justice
[03:56.00]Lift up your voices, In times of protest
[03:56.00]Lordy lord they laid him in the ground
[03:56.00]Woe Jackson George Jackson, Oh Jackson Want Justice
[03:56.00]A voice of protest, And frustration
[03:56.00]Within a system, Of deception
[03:56.00]Lordy Lord Hey! Lordy lord Hey.yeahee!
