《Hurricane》歌词

[00:00:07] Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
[00:00:18] Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
[00:00:22] She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
[00:00:26] Cries out "My God they killed them all "
[00:00:30] Here comes the story of the Hurricane
[00:00:34] The man the authorities came to blame
[00:00:37] For somethin' that he never done
[00:00:41] Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
[00:00:45] The champion of the world
[00:00:50] Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
[00:01:01] And another man named Bello movin' around mysteriously
[00:01:03] "I didn't do it " he says and he throws up his hands
[00:01:08] "I was only robbin' the register I hope you understand
[00:01:11] I saw them leavin' " he says and he stops
[00:01:15] "One of us had better call up the cops "
[00:01:18] And so Patty calls the cops
[00:01:21] And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
[00:01:27] In the hot New Jersey night
[00:01:34] Meanwhile far away in another part of town
[00:01:43] Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
[00:01:46] Number one contender for the middleweight crown
[00:01:50] Had no idea what kinda sh*t was about to go down
[00:01:54] When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
[00:01:58] Just like the time before and the time before that
[00:02:01] In Paterson that's just the way things go
[00:02:04] If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
[00:02:09] 'Less you wanna draw the heat
[00:02:18] Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
[00:02:24] Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
[00:02:28] He said "I saw two men runnin' out they looked like
[00:02:30] Middleweights
[00:02:32] They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates "
[00:02:35] And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
[00:02:38] Cop said "Wait a minute boys this one's not dead"
[00:02:42] So they took him to the infirmary
[00:02:45] And though this man could hardly see
[00:02:49] They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[00:03:01] Fourn the mornin' and they haul Rubin in
[00:03:05] Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
[00:03:07] The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
[00:03:12] Says "Wha'd you bring him in here for He ain't the guy "
[00:03:16] Yes here's the story of the Hurricane
[00:03:19] The man the authorities came to blame
[00:03:23] For somethin' that he never done
[00:03:27] Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
[00:03:31] The champion of the world
[00:03:43] Four months later the ghettos are in flame
[00:03:46] Rubin's in South America fightin' for his name
[00:03:50] While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
[00:03:53] And the cops are puttin' the screws to him lookin' for somebody
[00:03:55] To blame
[00:03:57] "Remember that murder that happened in a bar "
[00:04:00] "Remember you said you saw the getaway car "
[00:04:04] "You think you'd like to play ball with the law "
[00:04:08] "Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that
[00:04:09] Night "
[00:04:12] "Don't forget that you are white "
[00:04:18] Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure "
[00:04:27] Cops said " A poor boy like you could use a break
[00:04:29] We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend
[00:04:33] Bello
[00:04:34] Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow
[00:04:38] You'll be doin' society a favor
[00:04:41] That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
[00:04:45] We want to put his a** in stir
[00:04:47] We want to pin this triple murder on him
[00:04:53] He ain't no Gentleman Jim "
[00:04:59] Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
[00:05:08] But he never did like to talk about it all that much
[00:05:11] It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay
[00:05:15] And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
[00:05:19] Up to some paradise
[00:05:22] Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
[00:05:25] And ride a horse along a trail
[00:05:29] But then they took him to the jailhouse
[00:05:32] Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[00:05:43] All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
[00:05:48] The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance
[00:05:52] The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
[00:05:55] To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
[00:05:59] And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
[00:06:02] No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
[00:06:06] And though they could not produce the gun
[00:06:10] The D A said he was the one who did the deed
[00:06:14] And the all-white jury agreed
[00:06:26] Rubin Carter was falsely tried
[00:06:29] The crime was murder "one " guess who testified
[00:06:32] Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
[00:06:36] And the newspapers they all went along for the ride
[00:06:40] How can the life of such a man
[00:06:43] Be in the palm of some fool's hand
[00:06:47] To see him obviously framed
[00:06:51] Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
[00:06:55] Where justice is a game
[00:07:05] Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
[00:07:10] Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
[00:07:13] While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
[00:07:17] An innocent man in a living hell
[00:07:21] Yes that's the story of the Hurricane
[00:07:24] But it won't be over till they clear his name
[00:07:28] And give him back the time he's done
[00:07:31] Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
[00:07:35] The champion of the world
