George Jackson - Acoustic Version

[00:11.20] I woke up this mornin', there were tears in my bed
[00:16.06] They killed a man I really loved, shot him to the head
[00:22.17] Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
[00:25.71] Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[00:30.91]
[00:42.28] Sent him off to prison for a 70 dollar robbery
[00:47.25] Closed the door behind him and they threw away the key
[00:52.51] Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
[00:57.13] Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[01:00.89]
[01:14.41] He wouldn't take shit from no one, he wouldn't bow down or kneel
[01:19.57] Authorities, they hated him because he was just too real
[01:24.89] Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
[01:29.09] Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[01:33.53]
[01:46.69] Prison guards, they cursed him
[01:48.62] As they watched him from above
[01:51.53] But they were frightened of his power, they were scared of his love
[01:56.68] Lord, Lord, so they cut George Jackson down
[02:00.95] Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[02:07.62]
[02:42.24] Sometimes I think this whole world is one big prison yard
[02:47.00] Some of us are prisoners, the rest of us are guards
[02:52.99] Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
[02:57.12] Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[03:01.78]
