Abu Jamal - Jonathan Richman

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
