Lyrics
I Don't Want To Fight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want to be right anymore
I don't want to be good
I don't want to change your mind
to feel it like I do
I don't wanna sell graves
peddle them door to door
a little something to ease your mind
and prepare you for what's in store
[Chorus]
I don't want to fight
brother I'm not joking about peace
we can have it here tonight
it all comes down to you and me
you never asked me to save anyone
not in whole or in part
like I was some kind of Holy Ghost
come to change their hearts
[Chorus]
you know the tree by the fruit
but just between me and you
I never do what I want
I do what I'm taught
and I've been learning a lot
about the violence I'm capable of
so I'm walking away from this
before I hurt someone
'cause I'm facing enemies
on both sides of the gun
[Chorus]
