George Jackson (Big Band Version)

[00:06.42] I woke up this mornin'
[00:08.71] There were tears in my bed
[00:12.02] They killed a man I really loved
[00:14.89] Shot him through the head
[00:17.77] Lord, Lord
[00:19.05] They cut George Jackson down
[00:21.94] Lord, Lord
[00:23.51] They laid him in the ground
[00:25.64]
[00:52.15] They sent him off to prison
[00:54.80] For a 70 dollar robbery
[00:57.78] They closed the door behind him
[01:00.56] And they threw away the key
[01:03.58] Lord, Lord
[01:04.84] They cut George Jackson down
[01:08.09] Lord, Lord
[01:09.32] They laid him in the ground
[01:11.16]
[01:38.05] He wouldn't take shit from no one
[01:40.76] He wouldn't bow down or kneel
[01:44.11] Authorities, they hated him
[01:46.55] Because he was just too real
[01:49.25] Lord, Lord
[01:50.73] They cut George Jackson down
[01:53.69] Lord, Lord
[01:55.05] They laid him in the ground
[01:57.11]
[02:24.09] The prison guards, they watched him
[02:26.32] And they cursed him from the above
[02:28.94] But they were frightened of his power
[02:31.88] They were scared of his love
[02:35.05] Lord, Lord
[02:36.34] So they cut George Jackson down
[02:39.23] Lord, Lord
[02:40.88] They laid him in the ground
[02:42.97]
[03:09.15] Sometimes I think this whole world
[03:11.85] Is one big prison yard
[03:15.17] Some of us are prisoners
[03:18.02] Some of us are guards
[03:20.71] Lord, Lord
