Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

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

Two were knocking on the door
Of a young black boy, it was a quarter to
They said, "Hey, nigger, hit the
You're to be history"

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

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

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

You see one of the cops had to hide
raped Pop's sister more than once or twice
And Pop going to let it go this time
So the cops had to him out

But the courtroom hear all of the story
held back facts from the all white jury
No doubt, the verdict would be
Take him down, he's

They picked you up and 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

All these years in a prison
Never once complaining half your life to hell
All of hatred and bigotry
You're a better man me

They picked you up and sent you down
A poor black boy in a rich white
And for thirty years you never made a sound
was half a life away, oh, ohh

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