1973 Studio Version (4:58)
From all those dodgy bootlegs and "Heavy Liquid"
I've been pushed
I've been shoved too long
They even tried to buy my song
But it aint gonna be that way no more

In my heart
I believe it's true
A man has gotta get at you
Everybody wants to look the other way

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And there's things a man must need
Oh don't it make you, wake you wanna
Open up and bleed?

Yeah, open up and bleed!

I've been lost
I've been pushed too long
I've been down harder, they've been too strong
Yeah baby, gonna find me another way

In my soul
I believe it's true
I better do what you wanted to
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me

I bleed
I bleed

I've been hurt
And I know it's so
Even my heart I've been pushed I know
Yeah, 'body wants to look the other way

In my soul
I believe it still
And in my arm there's a hole so deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And there's things a man must need
Don't make you, mmake you wanna
Open up and bleed?
Oh baby

1973 Live Version
From the Atlanta show on "Raw Power: Legacy Edition"
Oh yeah
Shhh
Oh yeah
Now listen

I've been pushed
I've been shoved too long
They even tried to buy song
But it aint gonna be that way no more

I've been hurt
I've been shut inside
I've even tried to fix and die
But I'm just gonna kick right through that door

Hey, tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me

I was caged
Like a wild cat
By fools who don't know where it's at
But it aint gonna be that way no more

In my heart
There's a hole so deep
And in my soul I can't believe
But I'm just gonna kick right through that door

Hey, tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And there's things a man can need
Don't it make you, make you wanna
Open up and bleed?

Open and bleed
Yeah

Yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Do you, do you feel it?
I wanna know do you, do you feel it?

I've been caged
Like a wild cat
By fools who don't know where it's at
But it aint gonna be that way no more

Oh my soul
It's been bought and sold
And in my guts I feel I'm getting cold
But I'm just gonna kick right through that door

Hey, tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And there's things a man can need
Oh don't it make you, make you wanna
Open up and bleed?
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed
Bleed
Bleed
Bleed
Bleed
Bleed
Well there's 24 hours
24 dead
Want my heart
Got my head
24 hours
Man alive
Got my soul
I can't be satisfied
Blue moon
You're gonna move, yeah
You're gonna open up and bleed
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed

2010 Live Version
From the first Hammersmith show in London
I've been pushed,
I've been shoved too long
They even tried to buy my song
But it aint gonna be that way no more

I've been hurt,
I've been scared inside
I even tried to fix and die
But I just couldn't kick on through that door

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me

I've been caged
Like a wild cat
By fools who don't know where it's at
Now somebody is gonna have to pay

In your heart
You know what's true
Still you do what you're told to do
And everybody just looks the other way

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And the things a man can need
Don't it make you, make you wanna
Open up and bleed?

Open up and bleed

I was wrong
When I believed
The human race was human being
Now I just can't stand another day

Gonna watch
The tower fall
I'm gonna laugh and have a ball
I'm gonna try to throw my tears away

Yeah tell me lies
Place your loving arms around me
And the things a man can need
Don't it make you, make you wanna
Open up and bleed?
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed

Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed baby
Open up and bleed baby
Open up and bleed baby
Bleed

24 hours
24 dead
24 ways
To lose your head
24 hours
24 fools
7 ways to lose your cool
Open up and bleed
Open up and bleed

Open up and bleed
Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed

I have a correction for the 2010 version Im sure he says"the human race was human indeed" not human being.

I'll have to disagree with you there at least at the first Hammersmith show, it was definetly "human being".

could be wrong,its just the way I heard it and it makes more sense,BUT I may be wrong.

thanks, G F# E!!!

I have the recording from the first hammersmith show, and i've always heard 'human being' too, could be human indeed and he messed up the line




HJW

I think it's unlikely HJW, and "human indeed" doesn't make much sense or fit Iggy's writing style. Saying that, since he didn't rhyme "believed" with "my dick's a tree compared to your seeds" none of them seem to fit Iggy's writing style.

Hey Anders, my albums are packed away, so I had to pull this off the internet (didn't remember it cutting off like that, but maybe it does?). The lyrics to this version..
