The Company Of Cowards
Im in the company store
Bullet holes through the window
We cant keep this company up anymore
A bucket of beer, a bucket of fools
A bucket of dark and broken rules
Theres a lot more to this than I ever thought
A bucket of trouble thats what weve bought
The man in the moon this afternoon
Told secrets on you
I believe to be true
Im in the company of cowards
Im in the company of me and you
I saw you with Mr. Struggle Must Go On
In a bar down in the Keys
He was old and slow and couldnt throw a punch
And you looked so musical last night in the breeze
You were showering him with your tender protection
With no regard for me
I was dining alone on the bread of sorrow
While you were making fat the old man and the sea
The man in the moon this afternoon
Told secrets on you I believe to be true
Im in the company of cowards
Im in the company of me and you
The Bible speaks of Heaven and Hell
And many frightening things
Politicians say One more war
And the bells of freedom will start to ring
Those stories you told by the waggin of your chin
Times not so precious til it comes to an end
And silence is truth between me and you
With our demur well hidden, like two birds we flew
So cover your eyes old man in the moon
Unless you care to see what really is not true
Youre in the company of cowards
Its hard telling what they will do
Youre in the company of cowards
Youre in the company of me and you
