lyrics

They’ll catch you undressing / Like a thief in the night
Stealing your thoughts straight out / straight out of your mind

No place for safety / no alleys nor hills

Wind and sun may not find you / but them good ole white boys will

*We got bigger fish to fry / don’t it make you sore
Wait til they come knockin’ / wait til they come knockin’ at your door

Oh the crime was a color / and the motive was clean
walking in daylight, a broken taillight, tryin' to get some sleep

When gunshots are fired / on the wrong side of town

don’t flinch don’t bat an eye don’t blink / even a child knows that sound

*We got bigger fish to fry / don’t it make you sore
Wait til they come knockin’ / wait til they come knockin’ at your door

The DA’s in the pocket / of the cops on the beat
Justice is just a word that lives in a smoky back room
where you don’t wanna take the heat

They’re selling postcards of the hanging / at every county fair

fibers of whip and rope upon the floor
where the beauty pageant girls twirl every perfect strand of hair

*We got pockets to line / kids to send to war
wait til they come knocking / wait til they come knocking at your door
Couldn’t make it if we tried / fighting this black man’s war
Wait til they come knocking/ wait til they come knocking at your
Wait til they come knockin’ / oh they’re gonna come knockin’ /
Wait til they come knockin’ / til they come knockin at your door
