Bob Dylan - george jackson

가사는 사랑하는 남자의 비극적인 죽음을 통해 사회의 부조리와 억압받는 현실을 폭로한다
조지 잭슨은 권위에 굴복하지 않았고, 그의 죽음은 그가 지녔던 힘과 사랑의 상징으로 남는다
결국, 이 세계는 서로 다른 역할로 나뉘어 있는 거대한 감옥처럼 느껴진다

I woke up this mornin', there were tears in my bed
They killed a man I really loved, shot him the head
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, they laid him in the ground
Sent him off to prison for a seventy-dollar robbery
Closed the door behind him and threw away the key
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, they laid him in the ground
He wouldn't take shit 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, they laid him in the ground
Prison guards, they hitted him as they cursed him from above
But they were frightened of his power, they were scared of his love
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, they laid him in the ground
Sometimes I think this whole world is one big prison yard
Some of us are prisoners, the rest of us are guards
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, they laid him in the ground
Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down
Lord, they laid him in the ground
