"Uncle George" lyrics
"Uncle George"
This one's in memory of Uncle George
We brethrens aware
We sympathise
Now rest in peace
George, George, George, George
George Jackson Soledad brother
George, George Jackson Soledad brother
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
The framed him Yes they framed him
Back up 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 ah ya ya ya ya Soledad brother
George ah ya ya ya ya 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 called
Rebelling for a cause
Rebelling for a cause
Rebelling for a cause
Rebelling for a cause
O Lord them got George
Them shot George
Help George
George ah ya ya ya ya ya
Can't trust a fuzz
Can't trust a fuzz
Can't trust a fuzz
Can't trust a fuzz
Can't trust a fuzz
Can't trust a fuzz
Malicious unjust society
He became revolutionary
George George oo yeah
Soledad
Confinement confinement
Confinement confinement
George, George Jackson Soledad brother
George Jackson Soledad brother
George Jackson Soledad brother
George Jackson Soledad brother
No no no no no
