Jonathan Richman - Abu Jamal lyrics
[Jonathan Richman - Abu Jamal lyrics]
Well that voice doesn't sound like
It comes from death row
With a violent person that
Voice just won't go
Another man has confessed but that's
No help at all
For there on death row, stands Abu Jamal
Yeah now that voice, how it's so dignified
That calm speaking voice has
Conviction and pride
And the charges against him make
No sense at all once you hear
The proud voice, of Abu Jamal
So join Nelson Mandela and Susan Sarandon
Join Harry Belafonte as the list
Goes on and on and protest with a letter
Or maybe a phone call
For there on death row, stands Abu Jamal
It comes from death row
With a violent person that
Voice just won't go
Another man has confessed but that's
No help at all
For there on death row, stands Abu Jamal
Yeah now that voice, how it's so dignified
That calm speaking voice has
Conviction and pride
And the charges against him make
No sense at all once you hear
The proud voice, of Abu Jamal
So join Nelson Mandela and Susan Sarandon
Join Harry Belafonte as the list
Goes on and on and protest with a letter
Or maybe a phone call
For there on death row, stands Abu Jamal
