UB40 - Tyler [UB45 Ver.]

Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal can't do too much to help him
It's been forty years
And they've just let him go

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?

Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers it's all for show
With rows of white faces
False accusations
He's framed up for murder
They've just let him go

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?

Police gun was planted
No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They showed him no mercy
They've just let him go

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so?
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They showed him no mercy, they've just let him go
