He ain´t the guy!" <BR/>Yes, here´s the story of the Hurricane, <BR/>The man the authorities came to blame <BR/>For somethin´ that he never done. <BR/>Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been <BR/>The champion of the world. <BR/><BR/>Four months later, the ghettos are in flame, <BR/>Rubin´s in South America, fightin´ for his name <BR/>While Arthur Dexter Bradley´s still in the robbery game <BR/>And the cops are puttin´ the screws to him, lookin´ for somebody to blame. <BR/>"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?" <BR/>"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?" <BR/>"You think you´d like to play ball with the law?" <BR/>"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin´ that night?" <BR/>"Don´t forget that you are white." <BR/><BR/>Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I´m really not sure." <BR/>Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break <BR/>We got you for the motel job and we´re talkin´ to your friend Bello <BR/>Now you don´t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow. <BR/>You´ll be doin´ society a favor. <BR/>That sonofabitch is brave and gettin´ braver. <BR/>We want to put his ass in stir <BR/>We want to pin this triple murder on him <BR/>He ain´t no Gentleman Jim. <BR/><BR/>"Rubin could take a man out with just one punch <BR/>But he never did like to talk about it all that much. <BR/>It´s my work, he´d say, and I do it for pay <BR/>And when it´s over I´d just as soon go on my way <BR/>Up to some paradise <BR/>Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice <BR/>And ride a horse along a trail. <BR/>But then they took him to the jail house <BR/>Where they try to turn a man into a mouse. <BR/><BR/>All of Rubin´s cards were marked in advance <BR/>The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance. <BR/>The judge made Rubin´s witnesses drunkards from the slums <BR/>To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
