John Lennon - John Sinclair 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
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
If he'd 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
They gave him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
They gave him ten for two
They got Ali Otis too.
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
Was he jailed for what he done?
Or representing 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
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free

i wonder if anyone who bought the vinyl version or cd verdion of this album thought the record was scratched on their first listening of 0:43

I'm listening to this on Spotify and thought my phone wasn't working

I feel that John got inspiration from Raunchy because they sound similar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzkrlubjzPU

Probably John Lennon's best cover art

lennon 's friend......jonh Sinclair

Slide guitar, wow

Lennon no fue como zimmerman pero tuvo mas influencia en su manera de actuar y si hubiese que elegir a un ganador del premio novel de literatura sin duda john lo merecia mas

Why do these videos have the wrong album cover?

Good question

@MajorTom This is the album cover .

Presumably because of a certain word that appears on the cover.

Simon Vaughan , do you mean "nigger" from "Woman is the Nigger of the World" or something else?

Original cover

1. Who'd pay ANY price to see him perform this now?
2. What is that odd guitar called that he is using (and WHO uses it today)?

Steel guitar and Jackson Browne has a steel guitar in his live shows and some of his records.

David B , I wouldn't.

John Doe me too

He's just playing slide on a steel string. I'm not sure if it's a dobro or not but im sure there is video of him playing this live.

bruh id pay any price to watch Lennon shit on stage today.

This sounds like spider-man song, can be swing from a web? no he can’t cause he’s a pig

It does lol :D

omg can't unhear it

the ending sounds awesome At 0.5 speed .
