Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

Gill and were working late
On a summers in '58
In a small town, hideaway
In the U.S.A.

Two cops knocking on the door
Of a young black boy, it was a to four
They said, "Hey, nigger, hit the
about to be history"

Pop was the young black man
He couldn't work it out, he didn't
But when they come with guns, you do what you can
So he picked up his and he shot them down

said, "He killed them in cold blood"
And the jury, agreed
They said, "You'll be sorry for you've done"
And the whole town agreed

They picked you up and sent you down
A poor boy in a rich white town
And for eight years you never made a sound
That was a life away, half a life away

You see one of the cops had something to
He'd raped Pop's more than once or twice
And Pop wasn't going to let it go this
So the cops had to him out

But the didn't hear all of the story
They held back facts the all white jury
No doubt, what the verdict be
Take him down, guilty

They picked you up and sent you down
A poor black boy in a rich town
And for thirty eight you never made a sound
That was half a life

All these in a prison cell
Never complaining half your life gone to hell
All because of hatred and
You're a better man me

picked you up and they sent you down
A poor black boy in a white town
And for eight years you never made a sound
That was half a away, oh, ohh

They you up and they sent you down
A poor boy in a rich white town
And for thirty eight years you never made a
That was half a away, half a life away
