They keep you running, you can't hide from the ways of the system and dem everyday
Persecution, you can't deny it. Witnesses there down a station with a lot to say
Babylon a catch Rudie in a curfew, could he be the right one dem a search for? Are their words true?
Dem claim you guilty with no real hard evidence, Lock down permanent, it never make no sense
CHORUS
Conviction on a Monday Morning,
For a murder dem claim happened yesterday
Read the news. Dem cross the line Hear what I say
Conviction on a Monday Morning
Capture the innocent without a warning
Who's protection? None to show. Hear the worst of the rumors when they read the case
I guess it's always who you know, when the winds of corruption gonna blow your way
When you look back now and wonder why him turn fugitive, Cause him realize what dem gonna do to him
False judgement under dubious circumstance, That's how they treat you when they get the chance
CHORUS
One of the jailers accidentally leave his gun out on the table, Giving me the opportunity to get free
While inna de countryside, dem never believe police a try fi put a price upon my head a hero inna the streets
But now they have the place surrounded, telling me come out with your hands up, Heavenly Father would you
hear my last request?
Tell all of the people I was innocent and tell my mama not to shed no tears because I did my best.
Execution in the square
From the judge who's presiding, and him never care
Come to find out, truth or dare.. The perpetrator was the son of a millionaire
Babylon a catch Rudie in a curfew, could he be the right one dem a search for? Are their words true?
Dem claim you guilty with no real hard evidence, False accusation and it never make no sense
CHORUS
Shotgun trial now on a Monday Morning, well I ain't no criminal
Capture the innocent without a warning.
