Cowards Sing at Night Lyrics
Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night
Human virtue affirmed, we are ennobled by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
Come back home Johnny
Come back home Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Without resolve you are self-assured
With eager anticipation you are ready for a war
Faith in your fathers, honor thy family
I hold no regard. I am unapologetic
Come back home Johnny
Come back home Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Your war is over
Your war is over
Your war is over... Johnny
Human virtue affirmed, we are ennobled by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
Come back home Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
With eager anticipation you are ready for a war
Faith in your fathers, honor thy family
I hold no regard. I am unapologetic
Come back home Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Your war is over
Your war is over... Johnny

I might be completely wrong but I think this song is about John McCain.
"Johnny" "Veitnam" "Faith in you fathers" (McCain wrote a book called 'Faith of my Fathers')
"Come back home" and "Your war is over" probably refer to the fact that McCain never stops talking about how he was a POW....it's OVER, stop talking about it!
Bingo.
Bingo.
saw tom perform this song @ Slims in S.F, it was exceptional. he is so passionate while performing he gives me chills. one of the most memorable shows ive ever seen. The Rivival Music Tour. FOLK ALL OF YOU clark
I'm so glad that the election is over and we can stop hearing about the long list of things that John McCain didn't have while he was in Vietnam, regardless of how many house he has now. I don't believe in exceptionalism either.
