Zachary Jones
(words and music Roy Jones)

Who is this Zachary Jones?
Where does he come from?
Six foot of skin and bone
And a vision of the nuclear bomb
He never went to public school
He learnt his lessons on the dole queue
A rebel and a fool
But his message was clear and true
He said:

"This is the time of changes
Be careful what you do
Because there is a Law above the State
And as you sow you reap so too.
Learn to reason for yourself
Not like a mirror of The Sun or the TV set
You'll see we've got a lot of work to do"

Where does he come from?
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary,
Zachary Jones

Who is this Zachary Jones?
Where did he learn to fight?
And was it poverty or money
Which taught him wrong from right?
Oh the night the policeman came
They locked him in a cell
His tears they fell like rain
They turned his world into a living hell
But he said:

"This is the time of changes
Be careful what you do
Because there is a Law above the State
And as you sow you reap so too.
Learn to reason for yourself
not like a mirror of The Sun or the TV set
You'll see we've got a lot of work to do"

Where does he come from?
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary,
Zachary Jones

Racism is fear and projection
Harnessed by Power for subjugation
The only solution is a personal revolution
Open the heart to the goodness in everyone
Transcend the judgement
Give everyone a chance to be better
Awaken to Life's dignity
Celebrate our shared humanity
All Life is connected
All Life is connected
All Life is connected

Where does he come from?
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary,
Zachary Jones

Where does he come from?
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary,
Zachary Jones

Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary, Zachary,
Zachary Jones, Zachary Jones

Who is this Zachary Jones?
