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 going to die
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row?"
So they took me down to the gallows
And this boy he said to me, "Why do you smile
When the rope's around your neck?"
I said, "I tell you boy when I get back"
I said, "I 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 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 going to 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 le via bien
Step out of line we'll and fill you with lead
How are we to know that you're not a liar
Don't you see when have a job to do
And our job is the law
You fit the description of a criminal crosser
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 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 going to die
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row?"
