Angela
John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you´re one of the millions of political prisoners in the world.
Sister, there's a wind that never dies
Sister, we're breathing together
Sister, our love and hopes forever keep on moving oh so slowly ´round the world.
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jailhouse key.
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality.
Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning to your sisters and brothers in the world.
Sister, you're still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million different races but we all share the same future in the world.
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jailhouse key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you ev´rything but equality.
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions of political prisoners in the world.
Pozn:Kdopak si u nás ještě dnes vzpomene na Angelu Davis(*1944)? Tato americká černošská bojovnice za lidská práva si dny své největší slávy prožila na přelomu 60. a 70. let minulého století. Její pověstný účes nechyběl snad na žádné tehdejší demonstraci. Málokdo o ní ale ví, že tato feministka byla členkou jak komunistické strany USA tak revolučních černých panterů. V roce 1970 to dotáhla na pozici třetí nejžádanější osoby v seznamu FBI. V současné době je profesorkou na universitě v kalifornském Santa Cruz.
