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 give him number two
What else can the judges do

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
They got Ali Otis too
Gotta set him free


Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing everyone

Free John now, if we can
From the clutchs 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 !@$(s do
Gotta set him free
