Текст песни We Are All Cowards Now - Elvis Costello
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
are
all
cowards
now
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
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
are
all
cowards
now
The
emptiness
of
arms
The
openness
of
thighs
The
pornography
of
bullets
The
promises
and
prizes
can′t
disguise
We
are
all
cowards
now
They′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
now
Arms
are
empty
The
pornography
of
plenty
Count
commands
from
one
to
ten
Number
sins
from
ten
to
twenty
There's
an
illusion
we
believe
in
There
is
honour
in
their
need
Pretty
confetti,
chemical
debt
And
a
necessity
to
bleed
My
fears
too
fleet
to
scupper
My
prayers
too
thin
to
scream
On
my
lover′s
back
a
zipper
On
her
limb
a
straightened
seam
So,
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
