Stiff Little Fingers - Human Shield lyrics

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
