I woke up this mornin'
There were tears in my bed
They killed a man I 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 s___ 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 watched him
And they cursed 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 I think this whole world
Is one big prison yard
Some of us are prisoners
Some of us are guards

Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground
