[Verse]
I'm stuck in the middle of a quiet room
Wondering if somebody’ll be here to let me out soon
I shout and then I scream and I can act a fool
But truthfully you know, there are times when you have to
Ten percent of every hour
I'm just trying not to let you figure out how I'm feeling, oh
Oh, that’s when my armour comes in useful
Cause it's something you know I could never go to school for

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been on my own
Cause when the drama starts
I hear the call to war
I got my shield and sword
And I could show you all
How to protect your soul
You gotta build it up
All by yourself, yeah

[Chorus]
I got my shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my armour
Shield, shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my armour

[Verse]
Deep down, I'm sticking to abiding rules
That's keeping me from saying all the things that I could do
I call and sing and dance to a different tune
But underneath I'm looking for a chance just to be true
Nobody's gonna bring me while I'm waiting for the moment
Take advantage right, and tell you what I should do
Oh, that’s why my heart is being truthful
But I know it’s something I ain't gonna lose my cool for

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been on my own
Cause when the drama starts
I hear the call to war (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I got my shield and sword
And I could show you all
How to protect your soul
You gotta build it up
All by yourself, yeah
[Chorus]
I got my shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my armour

Shield, shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my, my armour
My shield, oh
And I got my armour
