lyrics

They're setting up the barricades, preparing for the big parade,
With flags and bunting all arrayed.
They're bussing in from far away, splashing out for a place to stay,
But I,
I will walk away.

You and he caught a train, didn't matter where you went today.
No sense trying to wait it out you said.
They're stepping up the no-knock raids, and locking down the motorways,
But I,
I will walk away.

I have thrown my phone in a roadside bin,
Taken out the battery and broken up the sim.
I have shaved my head and wiped my record clear,
I am off the grid, I will disappear.
I will disappear.

Now I'm out beyond the city gates, blending in with everyday
People who are not obliged to stay.
It'll be all across the news at eight, reconfirmed the head of state,
But I,
I will walk away.
