Shield

Shield We held your dying baby, we tried our very best. Even though you caused it, we treated you like the rest. we dragged you from that car crash, the one that killed that child we still told you that you’d be ok, regardless of how riled. we still treat you with empathy, when your crimes deserve none Regardless of the hate you spew, into your dark we’ll run we’ll be there when you try to jump, for strangers we risk all If you are going over, then we’re both gonna fall For some this is a paycheck, just a job to pay the bills For others it’s a calling, it’s the only way we live. To turn our back on evil, is to declare that it has won. Never will we yield to the that until our lives are done So, go ahead and use us, abuse us all the same You’re the only ones who lose, if were taken from the game We see, so you don’t have too, we shield you from the shame When you look deep inside the mirror, it’s just easier to blame So, while we’re getting spit at and dodging drug fueled fists I hope you know the price we pay to ensure your constant bliss Nothing in this world is free, collections are made each day We’ll gladly step in front of you, so you won’t have to pay
