george jackson

• bob dylan şarkısı, sözleri de şöyle:
  
  ı woke up this morning
  there were tears in my bed
  they killed a man ı really loved
  shot him through the head
  
  lord, lord, they cut george jackson down
  lord, lord, they laid him in the ground
  
  sent him off to prison
  for a seventy dollar robbery
  closed the door behind him
  and they threw away the key
  
  lord, lord, they cut george jackson down
  lord, lord, they laid him in the ground
  
  he wouldn't take shit from no one
  he wouldn't bow down or kneel
  authorities, they hated him
  because he was just too real
  
  lord, lord, they cut george jackson down
  lord, lord, they laid him in the ground
  
  prison guards, they cursed him
  as they watched him from above
  but they were frightened of his power
  they were scared of his love
  
  lord, lord, so they cut george jackson down
  lord, lord, they laid him in the ground
  
  sometimes ı think this whole world
  ıs one big prison yard
  some of us are prisoners
  the rest of us are guards
  
  lord, lord, they cut george jackson down
  lord, lord, they laid him in the ground
