Stiff Little Fingers - Half a Life Away слова песни

(Burns/McCallum)Gill and Galloway were working lateOn a summers night in `58In a small town Alabama hideawayIn the U.S.A.The two cops were knocking on the doorOf a young black boyIt was a quarter to fourThey said:"Hey nigger! Hit the floor.You`re about to be history."Pop Bickham was the young black manHe couldn`t work it out, he didn`t understandBut when they come with their guns you do what you canSo he picked up his rifle and he shot them downThey said he killed them in cold bloodAnd the jury they agreedThey said: "you`ll be sorry for what you`ve done"And the whole town they agreedChorus: They picked you up and they sent you down A poor black boy in a rich white town And for 38 years you never made a sound That was half a life awayYou see one of the cops had something to hideHe`d raped Pop`s sister more than once or twiceAnd Pop wasn`t going to let it go this timeSo the cops had to take him outBut the courtroom didn`t hear all of the storyThey held back facts from the all white juryNo doubt what the verdict would beTake him down, he`s guilty(Chorus)All these years in a prison cellNever once complainingHalf your life gone to hellAll because of hatred and bigotryYou`re a better man than me(Chorus x2)
