Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

Gill and Galloway were working
On a night in '58
In a town, Alabama 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 understand
But when they come their guns, you do what you can
So he picked up his rifle and he shot them

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

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

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

But the courtroom didn't 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 they sent you
A black boy in a rich white town
And for thirty eight years you made a sound
That was half a life

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

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

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