《Don’t Pick A Fight With A Poet》歌词

[00:00:00] Don't Pick A Fight With A Poet - Madeleine Peyroux (玛黛琳·蓓荷)

[00:00:07] When you're walking on the street

[00:00:11] And the people that you meet

[00:00:15] Make you want to start a big fight

[00:00:19] 'Cause they talk as if they're so right

[00:00:22] There is one thing to remember

[00:00:26] In case you haven't heard

[00:00:30] You can kill a mighty emperor

[00:00:33] But you cannot smite a word

[00:00:38] So don't pick a fight with a poet

[00:00:48] Don't raise your hand on a whim

[00:00:55] Whether it's wrong or it's right

[00:00:59] There's a lesson in life

[00:01:03] And to learn it

[00:01:05] You have to give in

[00:01:10] 'Cause the poet knows

[00:01:15] You can't win

[00:01:18] When you're twitching at the bar

[00:01:22] No one knows who you are

[00:01:25] And you want to prove them all wrong

[00:01:30] You think you are so strong

[00:01:33] You can try to make them listen

[00:01:37] You can try to be the boss

[00:01:41] But the story teller is the one

[00:01:46] Who calls the toss

[00:01:49] So don't pick a fight with a poet

[00:01:58] Don't raise your hand on a whim

[00:02:05] Whether it is wrong or it's right

[00:02:10] There'll be a lesson tonight

[00:02:14] And to learn it

[00:02:16] You'll have to give in

[00:02:21] 'Cause a poet knows

[00:02:25] You can't win

[00:02:30] Over there in the corner

[00:02:34] With a cheshire grin

[00:02:37] Making rhyme out of broken hearts

[00:02:40] Cryin' the hymn

[00:02:44] And two tokes from a good time

[00:02:48] A toast away from fist flying

[00:02:52] Congregating the world

[00:02:55] With a paper and pen

[00:03:42] So don't pick a fight with a poet

[00:03:51] Don't raise your hand on a whim

[00:03:57] Whether it's wrong or right

[00:04:03] There's a lesson in life

[00:04:05] And to learn it

[00:04:08] You'll have to give in

[00:04:13] 'Cause a poet knows

[00:04:17] You can't win
