drunkards from the slums

To the white folks who watched

he was a revolutionary bum

Rubin Carter was falsely tried

The crime was murder one,

guess who testified
Em

Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied

And the newspapers,

they all went along for the ride
G

How can the life of such a man

Be in the palm of some fool's hand

To see him obviously framed

to live in a land

Where justice is a game

Now all the criminals

An innocent man in a living hell

Em
but one time he could-a been
C
G

The champion of the world
