Pistol shots ring out in
the barroom night Enter Patty
Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a
pool of blood, cries out "My
God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to
blame for something that he
never done Put in a prison cell
But one time he could've been
the champion of the world
Three bodies lying there does
Patty see And another man named
Bello moving around mysteriously
"I didn't do it," he says
And he throws up his hands "I
was only robbing the register
I hope you understand
I saw them leaving"
he says, and he stops "One
of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene
with their red lights flashing
in the hot New Jersey night
Meanwhile far away in another
part of town Rubin Carter and
a couple of friends are driving
around Number one contender
for the middleweight crown had
no idea what kinda shit was
about to go down
When a cop pulled him over
to the side of the road Just
like the time before and the
time before that In Paterson
that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well
not show up on the street unless
you wanna draw the heat
Alfred Bello had a partner
and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley
were just out prowling around
He said, "I saw two men running
out. They looked like middleweights.
They jumped into a white car with
out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine
just nodded her head Cop said,
"Wait a minute, boys, this
one's not dead" So they
took him to the infirmary And
though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could
identify the guilty men
Four in the morning and they
haul Rubin in Take him to the
hospital and they bring him
upstairs The wounded man looks
up through his one dying eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him
in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the
Hurricane The man the authorities
came to blame for something
that he never done Put in a
prison cell But one time he
could've been the champion of
the world
Four months later the ghettos
are in flame, Rubin's in South
America fighting for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's
still in the robbery game And
the cops are putting the screws
to him looking for somebody to blame
"Remember that murder
that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you
saw the getaway car?" "You
think you'd like to play ball
with the law?" "Think
it might've been that fighter
that you saw running that night?"
"Don't forget that you are
white."
Arthur Dexter Bradley said
"I'm really not sure."
Cops said "A poor boy like
you could
use a break. We got you
for the motel
job and we're talking
to your friend
Bello. Now you don't
wanta have to go
back to jail, be
a nice fellow.
You'll be doing society a
favor. That
sonofabitch is brave
and getting braver.
We want to
put his ass in stir. We want
to pin this triple murder on him.
He ain't
no Gentleman Jim."
Rubin could take a man out
with just one punch But he never
did like to talk about it all
that much It's my work, he'd
say
and I do it for pay And
when it's over I'd just as soon
go on my way
Up to some paradise where the
trout streams flow and the air
is nice And ride a horse along
a trail But then they took him
to the jail house where they
try to turn a man into a mouse
All of Rubin's cards were
marked in advance The
trial was a pig-circus He
never had a chance The judge
made Rubin's witnesses drunkards
from the slums To the white
folks who watched he was a revolutionary
bum
And to the black folks he was
just a crazy nigger No one doubted
that he pulled the trigger And
though they could not produce
the gun The D.A. said he was
the one who did the deed And
the all-white jury agreed
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
The crime was murder "one"
Guess who testified? Bello and
Bradley and they both baldly
lied And the newspapers
they all went along for the ride
How can the life of such a man
be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel
ashamed to live in a land where
justice is a game
Now all the criminals in their
coats and their ties are free
to drink martinis and watch
the sun rise While Rubin sits
like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell
That's the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they
clear his name And give him
back the time he's done put
in a prison cell But one time
he could've been the champion
of the world |
