For Michael
Jesse James from Gangchester
Was just fifteen
When he died.
Jesse James from Gunchester
Was gunned down on his bike
In a park.
Jesse James from Manchester
Refused to join a gang
He just wanted everyone to be friends
And to be a friend to everyone.
Jesse James from Manchester
Was no outlaw
He rejected the outlaw's law
Became a different, braver kind of outlaw
For which he died.
The outlaws from Gangchester who killed him
Who no-one dares to name
Don't deserve the 'respect' they hold so dear
For which they kill.
Jesse James from Manchester
And others like him
Who have the courage to think for themselves
Deserve all the respect and love
We can give them.
Jesse James from Manchester,
I'll fight to make sure you didn't die in vain
Our kids need the world to remember you.
