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!
