We Are All Cowards Now - song lyrics

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

There's something wrong somewhere here So through unclean streets I made my way With holes in my shoes And my children asleep at my feet I paid my way In every town on the way The people looked grey The buildings looked healthy But one day I met a man With money to spare He said he would tell me how it is "The State," he began "Has been propping up people too long For far too long We all got lazy and couldn't be bothered To make our way through the world But we are all bourgeois now Once there was class war But not any longer Because baby we are all bourgeois now So go out and make your way in the world We're free to choose We're all free to choose We're all free to choose We're free to choose In booming Britain we all work together To raise ourselves in the world Each of us knows someone Who has done well for themselves So well for themselves" "Thank you" I said as I left "I'll be on my way I see how it is" We are all bourgeois now And somehow I'll raise myself in the world I'm free to choose We're all free to choose We're all free to choose I'm free to choose We're all bourgeois now We're all bourgeois now We're bourgeois now

아름다웠던 눈이 부시던 아프도록 설레며 울고 웃었던 고마웠었던 놓지 말자던 때론 다투고 잠 못 이룬 수많은 밤 한없이 행복해 웃음 지었던 Where are we now? 널 만나 몇 번의 계절을 지나 그 어딘가 헤매고 있는 게 아닐까 Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? 기나긴 여행 중 어느 날 Talk-talking about whe-where we goin'? (Goin') 어-어디론가 날 데려가 줄래? 아님 저 바람 부는 대로 그냥 흘러가게 둬 얼마나 온 걸까? 여긴 어디쯤일까? On and on, we're on the road, 숨 가쁘게 달려왔던 같이했던 모든 건 멋진 드라마 같은 걸 Know, know, know, we know 좋았던 기억 끝은 어딘지 끝이 있긴 한지 숨 쉬듯 그렇게 당연했었던 Where are we now? 널 만나 몇 번의 계절을 건너 그 어딘가 헤매고 있는 게 아닐까 Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? 기나긴 여행 중 어느 날 너와 난 왜 아프고 또 아파할까? 그 얼마나 더 서로를 잃은 채 헤매일까? (얼마나 더) Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? (Where are we now?) Where are we now? 봄처럼 짧았던 모든 날 아름다운 이 별 이곳에 너와 같은 꿈을 꾸던 우리 둘 Where are we now?

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty You're going off limits, going off duty Going off the rails, going off with booty They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work You've come to shoot the pony, they've come to do the jerk They leave him half way to paradise They leave you half way to bliss The ladies' invitation never seemed like this The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? The long arm of the law Slides up the outskirts of town Meanwhile in Clubland They are ready to pull them down Hey The right to work is traded in For the right to refuse admission Don't pass out now, there's no refund (When) Did you find out what you were missing? The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment Thursday to Saturday, money's gone already Some things come in common these days Your hands and work aren't steady The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland?

Born in the middle of a second big baby boom Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon Now I'm looking for a little girl, I wonder where she's gone Big money for families having more than one Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around Whatever happened to the pride of the nation? They say: "Just wait until you break formation" She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing She said: "When they get to Dover they'll be be taking over" I said I'd come to her defense and then she pulled me over Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench I'd be a hero but I can't stand the stench The Fitness Institute was full of General Motormen And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn't stand a chance with them The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector I'd like to be his funeral director Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity They shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around Please don't turn around Please don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around
