Open Up

They were lookin' for me when I came to

They were lookin' for me when I came back

Said, "Hey you, you're looking very suspicious"

I said, "Relax man, get off my back"

I said, "Relax man, get off my back"

I, I, I ain't opposed to seekin' justice

But you're goin' about it all wrong

The man, you're lookin' for does not exist

He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue

And they say,

"Open up we're comin' inside

You can't run so you may as well hide

We got the place covered from head to toe, head to toe

Open up we're comin' inside

What it feel like to know you're gonna die

On the other side of the row"

On the other side of the row

On the other side of the row

Yeah, so they took me down to the gallows

Oh, and this boy, he said to me

"Why do ya smile when the rope's around your neck?"

I said, "I'll tell ya boy, when I get back"

I said, "I'll tell ya boy, when I get back"

I, I, I ain't opposed to seekin' justice

But you're goin' about it all wrong

The man, you're lookin' for does not exist

He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue

He's just a victim of the higher man's tongue

And they say,

"Open up we're comin' inside

You can't run so you may as well hide

We got the place covered from head to toe, head to toe

Open up we're comin' inside

What it feel like to know you're gonna die

On the other side of the row"

On the other side of the row

On the other side of the row

Hands above your head

Que la vie est bien

Step out of line and we'll fill you with lead

How are we to know, that you are not a liar? Hey

Don't you see we have a job to do

And our job is the law, job is the law

You fit the description of a criminal crosser, hey

We believe that he is you

And that is your flaw, that is your flaw

That is your flaw, that is your flaw

That is your flaw, that is your flaw, that is your flaw

And they say,

"Open up we're comin' inside

You can't run so you may as well hide

We got the place covered from head to toe, head to toe

Open up we're comin' inside

What it feel like to know you're gonna die

On the other side of the row"

On the other side of the row

On the other side of the row

On the other side of the row
