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 seekin 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 might 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 road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
So they took me down to the gallows
And this boy, he said to me
Why do ya smile when the rope’s around your neck
I said I tell ya boy when I get back
I said I tell ya boy when I get back
I, I, I ain’t opposed to seekin' 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 might 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 road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
Oh, 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?
He-e-ey, 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, he-e-ey
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 road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
On the other side of the road
