Lyrics
It
was
the
morning
of
october
6th,
1960
I
was
wearing
my
brown
suit
Preparing
to
leave
the
house
of
d.
Shook
some
hands
then
adios
brooklyn
amigos
Maybe
some
of
them
had
hopes
of
seeing
me
again
Some
even
said
that
my
judge-judge
gerald
culkin-
Wouldn't
play
it
by
the
book
Maybe
let
us
off
the
hook
But,
woh-oo-woh,
I
knew
better.
Afraid
to
leave
the
projects
To
cross
into
another
neighborhood
The
blancos
and
the
nigger
gangs
Well,
they'd
kill
you
if
they
could.
Angel
of
mercy,
people
are
suffering
All
over
the
world
Spanish
children
are
taught
on
their
knees
to
believe
Angel
of
mercy,
people
are
suffering
All
over
the
island
tonight,
Mothers
weep
Sisters
grieve
Well,
I
entered
the
courtroom,
state
of
new
york
County
of
new
york,
just
some
spic
They
scrubbed
off
the
sidewalk
Guilty
by
my
dress
Guilty
in
the
press
Let
the
capeman
burn
for
the
murder
Well
the
'spanish
boys'
had
their
day
in
court
And
now
it
was
time
for
some
fuckin'
law
and
order
The
electric
chair
For
the
greasy
pair
Said
the
judge
to
the
court
reporter
Afraid
to
leave
the
projects
To
cross
into
another
neighborhood
The
newspapers
and
the
t.v.
crews
Well,
they'd
kill
you
if
they
could
Angel
of
mercy,
people
are
suffering
All
over
the
world
A
spanish
boy
could
be
killed
every
night
of
the
week
But
just
let
some
white
boy
die
And
the
world
goes
crazy
for
blood-latin
blood.
I
don't
lie
when
I
speak.
Well
they
shackled
my
hands
A
heavy
belt
around
my
waist
to
restrain
me
And
they
shackled
my
legs
Hernandez,
the
'umbrella
man,'
chained
beside
me
Then
we
rode
that
black
maria
Through
the
streets
of
spanish
harlem
Calling
old
friends
on
the
corners
Just
to
lay
our
prayers
upon
them
Crying
Adios
hermanos,
adios
Adios
hermanos,
adios
