This one's in memory of, Uncle George.
We brethrens aware, we realise what you stood for.
George! George! George!
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George! George Jackson Soledad brother.
George! George Jackson Soledad brother.
Malicious, unjust society, he became revolutionary.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
No three cheers for uncle George,
Baton clap but Lord truncheon make no applause.
Weathered face of distortion behind iron bars,
Sights of darkness and torture and condemned fate that he saw.
They framed him, yes they framed him.
Backraw back up George, right now in the morgue,
He's rebelling for a cause.
Eleven years he's beared the scars of injustice, yeh.
Deeper scars remain of solitary confinement.
No you can't trust the fuzz.
He only stole seventy dollars,
He was advised to plead guilty.
He got not one year, but life for demanding his rights, George.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
Malicious, unjust society, he became revolutionary.
George Jackson! Soledad brother!
(..)
Prevented, prohibited, from pardon and parole,
Just a foolish youth, from backraw man he stole,
Now he lies there rotting in a morbid morgue,
The Fuzz claimed he suffered a disease call.
Rebelling for a cause. Rebelling for a cause.
Rebelling for a cause. Rebelling for a cause.
Oh Lord, them got George, them shot George, help George!
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
George Jackson Soledad brother.
Malicious, unjust society, he became revolutionary.
Confinement confinement, confinement confinement.
George, George Jackson..
