Living on the Frontline Songtext
von Eddy Grant

Yeah, oh, yeah
Mmm, oh, yeah
Mmm, alright

Oh, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, you got me, mama
Living on the frontline

Oh, mama
You′ve gone and born in the wrong time
Oh, you got me, mama
You've gone and born me on the front line
They′ve got me living on top of my existence
Oh, I've reached the age of my resistance

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
I said, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
I said, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah


Ooh, what kind of man could I be
If I can't talk about what I see
Oh, they tell me got to beware
Take the little money and go
Me no want no dirty money
No, me no want no dirty money

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Born in the wrong time
Ah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Woo-woo-woo, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

To all my brothers in Africa
Oh, stop a-shooting your brother
To all my brothers in Africa
Oh, stop a-shooting your brother
I need you, brothers, in Africa
Oh, we are born from the same mother

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Born on the frontline
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, yeah, yeah, whoa yeah
Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, ah...


Me no want nobody money
The oil or sugar me no want to see
Me no want to shoot Palestines
Oh, I have land, oh, I have mine

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline

Stop this brother killing brother
Over in our land Africa
Stop this brother shooting sister
Over in our land Africa

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the frontline

Me no want no bloody money
Me a-go talk about what I see
I don′t want your bribery
Me a-go talk about what I see
Me no want to go America
Oh, me no want to become big star
Me no want to take cocaine
Oh, to go broke up my brain

Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the front line
Oh, mama, mama, you got me
Living on the front line
Oh, I say, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Ooh, I said, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

Oh, mama, mama, oh, mama
They got me living on the frontline
Living on the front line
They got me living on the frontline
They got me living on the frontline
They got me born in the wrong time
