Open Surgery
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
