Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

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

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

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

They said, "He 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 they sent you
A poor black boy in a white town
And for thirty years you never made a sound
That was half a life away, half a away

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

But the courtroom didn't all of the story
They held back facts from the all jury
No doubt, what the would be
Take him down, he's

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

All these in a prison cell
Never once half your life gone 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 town
And for thirty years you never made a sound
That was half a away, oh, ohh

picked you up and they sent you down
A poor black boy in a rich white
And for thirty eight years you made a sound
was half a life away, half a life away
