Come Monday  

(tune of Jimmy Buffet’s “Come Monday”)

 

Heading out to Central Booking

In the back of a police van

I’ve got some wrist bracelets on

I guess I never should have

Spoke up to the Man

And brother, I’d like to know

Where did our liberties go?

 

Come Monday, we’ll be out of jail

Come Monday, they’ll be posting our bail

I spent 48 hours

Without meals or a shower

And I just want to check my e-mail.

 

Yeah the rally’s a bummer

Since they put barricades in our way

And now they’re arresting teenagers

No matter what they might say

The cops may give your parents a call

Just because you went to the mall

 

Come Monday, we’ll be out of jail

Come Monday, they’ll be posting our bail

I spent 48 hours

Without meals or a shower

And I just want to check my e-mail.

 

I can’t help it officer

If I practice free speech

Remember the old First Amendment

Or is that something the academy doesn’t teach?

 

I hope you’re enjoying the jail grub

The bologna isn’t that bad

Cause prison food’s better than Baywalk’s

That’s the worst time that I’ve ever had

And as soon as we’re free on the earth

I will sue you for all that you’re worth!

 

Come Monday, we’ll be out of jail

Come Monday, they’ll be posting our bail

I spent 48 hours

Without meals or a shower

And I just want to check my e-mail.
