Unnecessary Cowardice Lyrics

There are many situations

In which I'd be embarrassingly scared

If I faced an alien invasion

Or came upon a big grizzly bear

Yeah, but you sir, you're impressive

Just standing there, shaking in your shoes

Scared to send an urgent message

Just 'cause of some dumb game

That you're afraid to lose

Let's hear it, honey

The topic of the hour is

Unnecessary cowardice

Like when those men in power

Are acting so damn powerless

Unnecessary cowardice

Unnecessary cowardice

If my wife was choking on some candy

Or if my kids were kidnapped from our home

I would probably soil my panties

Yeah I'd be quaking in my little chromosomes

But you get the medal, yeah, you're next level

Just lying there, terrified and tamed

By some lightweight, duct-taped devil

Whose only curse to cast's to call you nasty names

What's the idea

Uh, why are we allowing this

Unnecessary cowardice

Somehow I doubt ya

Are really deeply proud of this

Unnecessary cowardice

Unnecessary cowardice

Truth is I was kinda lyin' about me

At times I've also been very

Unnecessarily cowardly

With my marriage, and my work, too

But at least I'm full of shame

So here's some shame for you

Only fools would ever fear me

Only a fly would ever call me brave

I'm no hero, but I hope you'll hear me

While you still have a little soul that's left to save

Not tryin' to break ya

Just tryin' to shake the clouds of this

Unnecessary cowardice

'Cause we may not make it out of

Another bloody bout of this

Unnecessary cowardice

Unnecessary cowardice
