Coward Lyrics

Oh dear mother why did you give me a birth
I didn't ask to be born
Oh dear father can't you see what you've done
I'm not the one you wanted me to becomeA coward I am and a good-for-nothing
Still I can walk over you
When my head is down and I'm in distress
Moonshine is my gentle mistressA drunkard I am and a yokel, too
Still I can walk over you
My hand is poor and I have to bluff
But cheating to win is not even enoughWalking alone, testing the water
Hiding skeletons in my closetA coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a strangerWhat the hell
I feel no shame
What the hell
I feel no shameSo dear mother why did you give me a birth
I didn't ask to be born
So dear father can't you see what you've done
I'm not the one you wanted me to becomeWalking alone, testing the water
Hiding skeletons in my closetA coward, a drunkard, a withdrawn, a stranger
