Eddy Grant - Living On the Front Line Lyrics

Yeah, oh yeah

Mmm, alright

Oh you got me
Living on the front line
Oh you got me mama
Living on the front line

Oh mama
You gonna mourn me in the wrong time
Oh you got me mama

They got me living on top of my existence
Oh appreciating my resistance

Oh mama, mama you got me
Living on the front line
Oh mama, mama you got me

Oh what kind of man could I be
If I can't talk about what I see

Oh they tell me do beware
