They were lookin for me when I came to,
They were lookin for me when I came back
Said 'hey you you're lookin very suspicious',
I said 'relax man, get off my back'
I said 'relax man, get off my back'

I,I,I ain't apposed to seekin justice,
But you're goin about it all wrong
The man, what you're lookin for does not exist,
He's just a figment of the higher man's tone

And they say:
Open up, we're comin 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 comin 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,(whoah)
And this boy he said 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

I,I,I ain't apposed to seekin justice,
But you're goin about it all wrong
The man, what you're lookin for does not exist,
He's just a victim of the higher man's tone
He's just a victim of the higher man's tone

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'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 theroad

Hands above your head,
Step out of line and we'll fill you with lead
How I need to know that you are not a liar (hey!)
Don't you see we have a job to do,
And the job is the law, job is the law

You fit the description of a criminal
Cross-eyed (hey!)
We believe that he is you,
And 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'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
