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



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

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's help

This i will 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
