Courage is for Cowards

Courage is for Cowards
Robyn Mackenzie

I see you in the shadows, just around the bend
Hands over your eyes as you wait for the world to end
You've got a situation, and you cannot pretend
You got it all together without the help of your friends

And it's such a tragedy, fire and pageantry, weaving a tapestry of all your sins
Your discourse is killing me, discord is thrilling, the likeness is chilling, identical twins
You reach for a hand but nobody is standing to bring you to land, you're left alone to swim
You're naked in your power, 'cause courage is for cowards

You lost your motivation, but not your sense of pride
You look for inspiration, hiding from the other side
Your dissatisfaction is felt both far and wide
Choking on your words as your struggles are glorified

And it's only jealousy, logic and fallacy, always embellishing what you are not
You're bathing in currency, lying so earnestly, selling so urgently those you have bought
Your gods are all golden, your servants beholden, it's always so cold in your platinum heart
Lock the princess in your tower, 'cause courage is for cowards

You only want to rule the world
You only like the pretty girls
You put the swine before the pearls
Give us a twirl

And brimstone and fire is your heart's desire, your evil empire is burned to the ground
You reap all your benefits, all of it counterfeit, just for the hell of it, you stick around
You say you're messiah but you're just a liar, you take it up higher and call out the hounds
You're the puppet of the hour, 'cause courage is for cowards
'Cause courage is for cowards

Courage Is For Cowards
by Johnny Cashpoint

Courage is for cowards
You need superpowers, get
Buffed like Creature Commandos
Not Wildcat or Green Arrow.

Powers are most pleasing,
Better than just being
Good at playing banjo
Making fine Gazpacho

Bad workman blames his tools
Good one uses them to rule
Your fear is contradictory
Buy your way to your victory

Who cares if you are brave?
Still end up in your grave
Same way that cowards do
One day you'll earn that truth

Who cares if you're afraid?
Power's bought not made
Stop pussying about
And get your wallet out

Bad workman blames his tools
Good one uses them to rule
Your fear is contradictory
Buy your way to your victory

Courage is for cowards
According to your browser
Courage is for cowards
And you're the man of the hour ...

[Lunkhead]

Courage Is For Cowards
by Berkeley Social Scene

You can promise not to play the fool
You can stand your ground and keep your cool
You can still be kind instead of cruel
You can set your life to breaking the rules

They may see you as a quitter
But you’re just a new beginner

Face the danger in the tower
Show that freedom is true power
Fight the system every hour
Show that courage is for cowards

You can hold your tongue and keep the peace
You can say goodbye and lay a wreath
You can hide inside what stirs beneath
You can shout it out and feel release

They may see you as a quitter
But you’re just a new beginner

Face the danger in the tower
Show that freedom is true power
Fight the system every hour
Show that courage is for cowards

They may see you as a quitter
But you’re just a new beginner

Face the danger in the tower
Show that freedom is true power
Fight the system every hour
Show that courage is for cowards

Face the danger in the tower
Show that freedom is true power
Fight the system every hour
Show that courage is for cowards

Courage is for Cowards
by Northwest Static

Verse

Feel the wind in your hair
Hear the waves as they’re crashing
Smell the salt in the air
See the sparks as they’re dancing
Feel the touch of your skin
And the heat of your body
Wonder where you begin
If you end where you found me

Pre-Chorus

Lost in time before the sunrises
You didn’t mean to
Who would believe you?
There’s no wanting to justify this
And you don’t need to
And you don’t want to

Chorus

Jump start my heart starts beating in the dark
(I can still feel the way) My pulse starts speeding from the thought
(I still can hear you say) This life‘s too fleeting to get wasted dreaming
(For the fearless are not brave) They’re unafraid and courage is for cowards

Verse

Feel the sweat on your face
And the pace of your breathing
My extremities trace
Out the paths where you lead me
Hear you whisper my name
When you find where you’re searching
Where there’s fire there is flame
And the coastline is burning

Courage is for Cowards
The Mellfire Trifecta

The games start when you’re young
When you’re the cowboy with your gun
But there’s no land to conquer in the suburbs
Your friends aren’t trying to raid your mother’s cupboards
They want to blow off steam… like you do

Courage is for cowards
Underlings and afterthoughts
Courage is for cowards
Know your rights or don’t get caught

Friends gripe all the time
About their problems, well get in line
But your solutions are the most exciting
Attention getters, almost undividing
Courage, don’t need it when you carry

Courage is for cowards
Underlings and afterthoughts
Courage is for cowards
Know your rights or don’t get caught

Serenity comes when everybody has one
You always say, equality’s the key
Live and let live for daughters and for sons
You captured all the truth
And guard it faithfully

Courage is for cowards
Underlings and afterthoughts
Courage is for cowards
Know your rights or don’t get caught

Courage Is For Cowards
by Max Bombast

If courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die

Courage is for cowards
Strength is for the weak
Faith is for the atheists
Who know the dead can speak
Love is for the haters
Wisdom is for fools
Honesty's for lairs
Who are breaking all the rules

And if courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die

Kindness is for killers
Calm's for malcontents
Hope is for the penniless
Without a cent to spend
Forethought's for the lazy
Foresight's for the blind
Eternity's for you and me
We're running out of time

So if courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die
