I used to be a soldier boy   'Till they shot me in the head   They made me eat their dirt   Of the living and the dead   I'm sick and tired of slaving   And shoveling their shit   And when you trust your feelings   They toss you in the pit      Yes I've been named a coward   I'm not a living friend   Yes I've been named a coward   A coward 'till the end      You seem so apprehensive   You question my beliefs   Seems life is so expensive   Ends are hard to meet   You make me feel offensive   In ev'ry move I make   I'm always up against the wall   And it's just too much to take      Yes I've been named a coward   I'm not a living friend   Yes I've been named a coward   A coward 'till the end   Whoa Whoa oh oh      Why am I to blame   Why am I put up on trial   When it's you who should be questioned   For all the people you defiled      You stay in all my nightmares   Until the very end   She's the only one who cares   In her I have a friend      Yes I've been named a coward   I'm not a living friend   Yes I've been named a coward   A coward 'till the end whoa      Yes I've been named a coward   A coward 'till the end.   (repeat to fade)
