[00:00.00]Don't Pick A Fight With A Poet - Madeleine Peyroux (玛黛琳·蓓荷)
[00:07.16]When you're walking on the street
[00:11.34]And the people that you meet
[00:15.09]Make you want to start a big fight
[00:19.03]'Cause they talk as if they're so right
[00:22.86]There is one thing to remember
[00:26.76]In case you haven't heard
[00:30.81]You can kill a mighty emperor
[00:33.82]But you cannot smite a word
[00:38.97]So don't pick a fight with a poet
[00:48.27]Don't raise your hand on a whim
[00:55.04]Whether it's wrong or it's right
[00:59.81]There's a lesson in life
[01:03.40]And to learn it
[01:05.75]You have to give in
[01:10.96]'Cause the poet knows
[01:15.12]You can't win
[01:18.34]When you're twitching at the bar
[01:22.09]No one knows who you are
[01:25.96]And you want to prove them all wrong
[01:30.34]You think you are so strong
[01:33.85]You can try to make them listen
[01:37.57]You can try to be the boss
[01:41.85]But the story teller is the one
[01:46.25]Who calls the toss
[01:49.63]So don't pick a fight with a poet
[01:58.72]Don't raise your hand on a whim
[02:05.55]Whether it is wrong or it's right
[02:10.02]There'll be a lesson tonight
[02:14.27]And to learn it
[02:16.26]You'll have to give in
[02:21.60]'Cause a poet knows
[02:25.75]You can't win
[02:30.97]Over there in the corner
[02:34.66]With a cheshire grin
[02:37.58]Making rhyme out of broken hearts
[02:40.33]Cryin' the hymn
[02:44.03]And two tokes from a good time
[02:48.42]A toast away from fist flying
[02:52.63]Congregating the world
[02:55.17]With a paper and pen
[03:42.23]So don't pick a fight with a poet
[03:51.36]Don't raise your hand on a whim
[03:57.89]Whether it's wrong or right
[04:03.00]There's a lesson in life
[04:05.88]And to learn it
[04:08.87]You'll have to give in
[04:13.69]'Cause a poet knows
[04:17.85]You can't win
