Open Surgery Lyrics - Man Alive

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!
