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! 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!
