We Are All Cowards Now Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
Time has taught us
That they're sending out their sons
To take away our guns and our daughters
We are all cowards now
Rivers rising
Darkness fell upon
People blotting out the sun
Disguising how
We’re all cowards now

[Bridge]
At least the Emperor Nero had an ear for music
But that's history
Caligula said, "God's speed, my steed"
But that’s his story

[Verse 2]
They're coming for our Peacemakers
Our Winchesters and Colts
The rattle of our Gatling Guns
Our best cowboy revolts and threats and insults
We're all cowards now
The emptiness of arms
The openness of thighs
The pornography of bullets
And the promises and prizes can't disguise
We are all cowards now
