Dumping below some stuff I turned in to BAR as possible sidebars to this article.
George Jackson
( © Copyright 1971 Bob Dylan)
I woke up this morning
There were tears in my bed
They killed a man I really loved
Shot him through the headLord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the groundSent him off to prison
For a seventy dollar robbery
Closed the door behind him
And they threw away the keyLord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+dylan/george+jackson_20207841.html ]
He wouldn’t take shit from no one
He wouldn’t bow down or kneel
Authorities, they hated him
Because he was just too realLord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the groundPrison guards, they cursed him
As they watched him from above
But they were frightened of his power
They were scared of his loveLord, Lord, so they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the groundSometimes I think this whole world
Is one big prison yard
Some of us are prisoners
The rest of us are guardsLord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, they laid him in the ground
