John Mellencamp - The Company Of Cowards lyrics

I’m in the company of cowards I’m in the company store Bullet holes through the window We can’t keep this company up anymore A bucket of beer, a bucket of fools A bucket of dark and broken rules There’s a lot more to this than I ever thought A bucket of trouble that’s what we’ve bought [Chorus:] The man in the moon this afternoon Told secrets on you I believe to be true I’m in the company of cowards I’m in the company of me and you I saw you with Mr. Struggle Must Go On In a bar down in the Keys sponsored links He was old and slow and couldn’t 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 [Chorus:] The man in the moon this afternoon Told secrets on you I believe to be true I’m in the company of cowards I’m 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 Time’s 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 [Chorus:] So cover your eyes old man in the moon Unless you care to see what really is not true You’re in the company of cowards It’s hard telling what they will do You’re in the company of cowards You’re in the company of me and you
