Lyrics
'I Don't Wanna Fight No More'
I don't wanna fight no more
But I am a growling gun
My battle scars are scars on scars
They won't let me run
It's true I bite and kill n' maim
It's all I know this fighting game
From very small I learned it all
And it's me they blame
And if I could I'd turn away
Never fight another day
N' sometimes when they set me up
I long to be a playful pup
Cos I don't wanna fight no more...
I'm bitten, chewed and ragged raw
What I do they still want more
Blood n' guts and all I am
Lay me down away from harm
Rub my back and clean my wounds
Take me from this killing room
Oh hurry boys I've had my day
Leave me now to fade away...
Cos I don't wanna fight no more
But I am a growling gun
My battle scars are scars on scars
They won't let me run
And I don't wanna fight no more
No I don't wanna fight no more
No I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna fight...
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna fight no more
Oh I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna fight...
