Over the Rhine - Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down lyrics

Feel the ache of Ohio Through the veins of Illinois Mine the seams of West Virginia Land of buried joy Lean into the half-light Fade into the night Moonrise hovers on the highway shoulder And scatters into light Don't let the ba*tards get you down Don't let the ba*tards get you down Backroads shining in the moonrise She's a dragon with a lazy eye Canary's in the coal like a fallen soldier Drunk on the song of a little white lie Don't let the ba*tards get you down Don't let the ba*tards get you down Are they gonna steal my love? Are they gonna steal my love? Are you gonna free my love? Are you gonna free my love? Three birds sittin' on a chainlink fence Got no cares in this world Don't let the ba*tards get you down Don't let the ba*tards get you down Don't let the ba*tards get you down Don't let the ba*tards get you down
