Abu Jamal Lyrics

Jonathan Richman Abu Jamal

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
