Cowards Sing at Night Lyrics by Laura Jane Grace

Heart Burns

2008

[Verse 1]
Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night
Human blood sure affirms we are noble by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Verse 2]
Without resolve, you are self-assured
With eager anticipation, you are ready for war
Faith in your fathers and in the family
I hold no regard, I am unapologetic
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Outro]
Your war is over, your war is over
Your war is over, Johnny
