Lyrics
It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air?
Let him be
Set him free
Let him be like you and me
They gave him ten for two
And what else can the judges do?
You got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to set him free
If he had been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free
They'd let him be
Breathing air like you and me
Right on
They gave him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
You got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to set him free
Free
They gave him ten for two
They got ol' Lee Otis, too
They got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to set him free
Free, now
Was he jailed for what he'd done
Or representin' everyone?
Free John now if we can
From the clutches of the man
Let him be
Lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
Alright
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?
You got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to set him free
Please
