Steel Pulse - Tribute to the Martyrs

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 yeahh
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
