Unnecessary Cowardice
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
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

By some lightweight, duct-taped devil

Unnecessary cowardice
'Cause we may not make it out of
Another bloody bout of this
Unnecessary cowardice
Unnecessary cowardice
