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 bastards do
Gotta set him free

Blind Melon è un gruppo rock alternativo statunitense formatosi nel 1989. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo con l'album di debutto omonimo del 1992, che includeva il singolo "No Rain", diventato un grande successo radiofonico grazie al suo video musicale iconico. La band è stata segnata dalla tragica scomparsa del frontman Shannon Hoon nel 1995, a soli 28 anni. Dopo una pausa di oltre dieci anni, Blind Melon si è riunito nel 2006 con Travis Warren come nuovo cantante, insieme ai membri originali Christopher Thorn (chitarra), Rogers Stevens (basso), Brad Smith (batteria) e Glen Graham (tastiere).
