Young Fathers - I Saw Lyrics

I want your shield
I want your weapon
Gimme that bulletproof vest
And don't forget I'm not susceptible to your nonsense
I'm a winner (when people forget you)

No falling for your charms
No crash into your arms
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

I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line
I saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line

A horse on its back
A line that is broad
A hand in the way
A sign towards god
The back of the spoon
Is not what the world is
With scars on your breast
And a star for a heart
A shield 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 how they want
It's nobody's fault

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 saw what I saw
I keep on walking the line

I rattle your sticks
I rattle your home
Rattle your zone
I rattle your bones

I rattle your sticks
I rattle your home
I rattle your zone
I love to hear you moan

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

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

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
