[Intro]
I want your shield
I want your weapon
Give me that bulletproof vest
And don't forget I'm not susceptible to your nonsense
I'm a winner (When people forget you, when people forget you)
Not falling for your charms
No crash into your arms
A handful of coins
And a balled-up fist
Picking rubbish
Cleaning rubbish
A bad seed
A rotten apple
Take out the rubbish
Buried in between justice
Holier than thou
Sunset gremlin
With a snidey wee smile
Wanna win
I wanna win
[Chorus]
I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line
I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line
[Verse]
A horse on its back
A line that is broad
A hand in the way
A sound towards God
The back of thе spoon
Is not what the world is
With scars on your breast
It's not for my heart
A shiеld for a window
A roof overhead
On the power of drugs
Heavy as lead
They know what they want
They say what they want
They bleed all they want
It's nobody's fault
[Chorus]
I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line
I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line
I keep on walking the line
I keep on walking the line
I keep on walking the line
I keep on walking the line
I saw what I saw (I saw what I saw)
I keep on walking the line (I keep on walking the line)
[Bridge]
I rattle your sticks
I rattle your home
Rattle your zone
I rattle your home
I rattle your bones
I rattle your sticks
I rattle your home
I rattle your zone
I love to hear you moan
[Outro]
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away
(I keep on walking the line)
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away
(I keep on walking the line)
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away
(I keep on walking the line)
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Run away

Alloysious Massaquoi:
We’d been talking about Brexit, colonialism, about forgetting the contributions of other countries and nations so that was in the air. And when we attached ourselves to the feeling of the song, it had that call-to-arms feeling to it, it’s like a march.
Kayus Bankole:
