Man Alive - Open Surgery lyrics

You can stop me if I get too far ahead And if these words are ones you've already been fed You can turn it off, you can write it off You can leave And I do welcome you to join in the exchange It's for this purpose that this forum's been arranged It's where you and I can look eye to eye And disagree So as for you my friend, this isn't open surgery If it were you'd be most underqualified You better keep those evil instruments away from me I've laid here for too long You're fixin' me all wrong Is there etiquette by which one can abide? Maybe a statement of belief that can be signed? Is there anyone to be ratted on to get in? But as for me from this closed circle I resign You don't have to go pretending that you mind I've just had enough and we've done enough But now we're free So as for you my friend, this isn't open surgery If it were you'd be most underqualified You better keep those evil instruments away from me I've laid here for too long You're fixin' me all wrong And as for you my friend, this isn't open surgery If it were you'd be most underqualified You better keep those evil instruments away from me I've laid here for too long You're fixin' me all wrong Yes you are!
