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.
