MDC, Don't Open The Door

from Various, Dirty Power by BVI Records

lyrics

Heres a little good advise
it didn't come without a price
it just might help you to stay free
and man it didn't come easily.
it wasn’t taught to you in school
it starts out by staying cool
i urge you not to forget
lest you live to regret SO
Chorus

you say you got nothin to hide
you're just a law abiding guy
you say "I'm not a criminal sneak
so what if they just want a peek

they say they want to be sure
that everyone is safe and secure
they got abusive my nerve got thin
feeling threatened i let them in.

boy was that a big mistake
grabbed my arm i thought it would break

they shove me back and spun me round
twisted my arm I hit the ground
hey man (please) dont be so rough
on my belly in hand cuffs

they searched my home drawer by drawer
held me facedown on the floor
scared my children till they cried
cause i let those creeps inside so

chorus
now my deadbolt will never budge
without a warrant signed by a judge
and if they tell me that i got to
ill say my lawyer told me not to

never forget that gloomy night
never give up your privacy righ
t
even with a warrant in their hand
ill tell'em "me no understand
if they arrest me for some crime
ill clam up like a fucking mime.

for survival or just for spite
it still remains your legal right
fuck those lazy police slobs
make them do there fucking jobs

lock your door and shut your mouth
