Steel Pulse - George Jackson Lyrics

I woke up this morning, Tears were in my bed

They killed a man I really loved, Shot him in the
head



Chorus: 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 they
key



Chorus



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



Chorus



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!



Bridge: 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!

Chorus



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 voice, 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!
