Human Shield Songtext

von Stiff Little Fingers

How do you propose to live your life in times like these
Growing up surrounded by the fear and hate disease disease
I believe that we all need protection from the world
And our friends enfold us like a barrier unfurled unfurled

I believe in the human shield
I believe in the human shield

People try to use you and abuse you every day
Doesn't seem to matter what you do or what you say you say
Then you need a friend that you can call on when you're down
Someone who will ward off all the hatred all around

The human shield
Protects your soul
And keeps you on the ground
The human shield
Protects your heart
From being ground down
