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

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

Scatters into the light

Don’t let the bastards get you down

Don’t let the bastards get you down

Backroads shining in the moonrise

She’s a dragon with a lazy eye

Canary in the coal, a fallen soldier

Drunk on the song of a little white lie

Don’t let the bastards get you down

Don’t let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

Don’t let the bastards get you down

Don’t let the bastards get you down

Don’t let the bastards get you down
