Open Up - Dispatch

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 a higher man’s tongue

And they say

«Open up, we’re coming inside

You can’t run so you may as well hide

We’ve 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 say to me

«why do you smile, when the rope’s around your neck?»

I said I’ll tell you boy, when I get back

I said I’ll tell you boy, when I get back

«Hands above you’re head

Que le vaya 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»
