Shields Up Lyrics

I've got nothing left to take

Except time and except taste

Both things i would give up in a heartbeat

And it's a shame that we both know

These are chains we cannot throw

And instead we drag them through the mud at our feet

This is the game we play and we are winning

This is like it oughta be

With a stomach and with teeth

Tied up like a knotted string around our fingers

Give a hand to those you can

All the ones that led us in

For their work is dirty and it often lingers

This is the game we play

Too soon

To carry on

Too soon

To carry on
