Letra de We Are All Cowards Now
Time has taught us That they're sending out their sons To take away our guns and our daughters We are all cowards nowRivers rising Darkness fell upon People blotting out the sun Disguising how We are all cowards nowAt least the Emperor Nero had an ear for music But that's history Caligula said "God's speed, my steed" But that's his storyThey're coming for our Peacemakers Our Winchesters and Colts The rattle of our Gatling Guns Our best cowboy revolts and threats and insults We are all cowards nowThe emptiness of arms The openness of thighs The pornography of bullets The promises and prizes can't disguise We are all cowards nowThey're draping stones with colours And a roll of stolen names Except those we never cared about And those we need to blame We'll extinguish that flame, just the same We're all cowards nowArms are empty The pornography of plenty Count commands from one to ten Number sins from ten to twentyThere's an illusion we believe in There is honour in their need Pretty confetti, chemical debt And a necessity to bleedMy fears too fleet to scupper My prayers too thin to scream On my lover's back a zipper On her limb a straightened seamSo, close the windows tightly Lower lamps and shades On the screen, silent rehearsals For tomorrow's parades For tomorrow's parades For tomorrow's parades We are all cowards now
