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 |
