Down On Our Shield Lyrics - Women And Country - Jakob Dylan

Oh, it's a struggle, it's a scream 

It's all give and no take 

Whatever it is, now 

It's right up to our waist 

Oh, it's a pity it's a shame 

To see it all slip away 

I've seen your way, babe 

But never this way 

We hold our ground 

We don't kneel 

If we go down, we go 

Down on our own shield 

Oh, it's a river of tears 

And we're in over our ears 

In the darkened rise 

Often with our better years 

It's a bottomless well 

It's a little overkill 

It's the end of a dragon's tail 

That's whipping around our ears 

But we don't bow 

We make no deals 

And we go down, we go 

Down on our own shield 

In this corner ladies and gentlemen 

Awaiting all alone 

My love for her is strong 

We scaled through this 

To be here tonight 

It's not the kind of trick 

That you get to pull twice 

Oh, it's an ambush, girl 

It's a cold bloody 

And low down, dirty word 

See them yellow lanterns walk 

A circle around our bitter verve 

Oh, it's a term force 

It's often with their heads 

They don't learn 

We do this over the dead bodies 

Before it's over, mine or yours 

We don't beg for mercy deals 

We go down, we go 

Down on our own shield 

Down we go 

Down on our own shield 

Down we go
