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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And to learn it[00:01:03]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Who calls the toss[00:01:46]

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

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

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

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

And to learn it[00:02:14]

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

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

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

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

With a cheshire grin[00:02:34]

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

Cryin' the hymn[00:02:40]

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

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

Congregating the world[00:02:52]

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

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

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

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

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

And to learn it[00:04:05]

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

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

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