Lyrics
I saw your feet when they threw me there
Yah, I know where you hid.
I know where you hid.
I know where you hid.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
I know where you hid.
I recognized your shoes, yah.
Yah, I know who you are.
I know where you hid.
You saw what they did.
You know, you know, you know, you know.
You know what they did.
I get that you were scared, yah.
But you saw what they did.
Wrong you can help to rid.
Put 'em in a box, yah,
and shut.... the lid.
You're my witness, you saw it all.
You could bring me justice, yah.
Don't let it haunt ya, you'd better reveal.
'Cause you saw what they did.
You were there and hid.
You know, you know, you know, you know.
You know what they did.
You can tell 'em in secret. You can tell 'em all, yah.
You can box the bad behind some walls.
You can let the bad guys take a fall.
'Cause you saw what they did.
You were there and hid.
You know, you know, you know, you know.
You know what they did.
I get that you were scared, yah.
But you saw what they did.
Wrong you can help to rid.
Put 'em in a box, yah,
and shut.... the lid.
