Open Up
Lyrics
They were looking for me when I came to
They were looking 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 seeking justice
But you're going about it all wrong
The man you're looking for does not exist
He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue
And they say "Open up, we're coming 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 coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're gonna die
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road"
Yeah so they took me down to the gallows
And this boy, he say to me
"Why do you smile when the rope's around your neck"
I say "I'll tell you boy when I get back"
I say "I'll tell you boy when I get back"
I, I, I ain't opposed to seeking justice
But you're going about it all wrong
The man you're looking 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 song
And they say open up, we're coming 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 coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're gonna die
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the... road
Hands above your head
Que la vie 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
And they say open up, we're coming 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 coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're gonna die
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
