I'm a Writer, Not a Fighter |
| Now some people like to fight, others don’t |
| And some people like to write but others won’t |
| Me, I think out of the two heres the one I wanna do |
| If you put me in a ring |
| For a few rounds of boxing |
| I’ll fall down right there on the ground |
| 'Cause I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter, okay |
| And if you take me to a place |
| Where old trouble shows its face |
| I’ll bow out, no, I won’t hang about |
| 'Cause I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter, okay |
| But if you came to burn my home |
| I’d be out there on my own |
| Fighting tooth and nail to keep you all at bay |
| But don’t ask me to defend |
| What I cannot comprehend |
| That is violence simply for violence sake |
| 'Cause I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter, okay |
| But if you came to burn my home |
| I’d be out there on my own |
| Fighting tooth and nail to keep you all at bay |
| But don’t ask me to defend |
| What I cannot comprehend |
| That is violence simply for violence sake |
| Now if you want me to prove myself |
| Without anybody, body’s help |
| Well, baby this I can do in a gentle way too |
| 'Cause I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter, okay, okay |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, not a fighter |
| I’m a writer, writer, not a fighter |
| Fighter |
| Hey baby, I’m a writer, writer, writer |
| I’m a writer, I’m a writer, writer, writer |
| I’m a writer, I’m a writer |
