The judge says to release him
Yet he remains in jail
They say that he's too dangerous
No chance of gettin' bail
Gangsters and crack dealers
Are free to walk the streets
But piss off mother England
And you'll rot in prison sheets.

Free Joe now
Now - now - now - now.

Refuse to hide my anger
I can't disguise my shame
As I watch my so-called leaders
Playin' Maggie Thatcher's game
Hey, if you represent me
Then hear now what I say
If Joe's in jail another year
You'll be callin' it a day.

Free Joe now
Now - now - now - now.

The judge says to release him
Yet he remains in jail
They say that he's too dangerous
No chance of gettin' bail
George Bush and Dickie Thornburgh
Are both down on their knees
Now Maggie'out of the White House
Let's take justice to the streets.
