The Company Of Cowards Lyrics - Plain Spoken - John Mellencamp

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 

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

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

I saw you with Mr. Struggle Must Go On 

In a bar down in the Keys 

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 

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 

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
