He Who Fights And Runs Away...
Bob Marley
was not joking
was not joking
when he sang the song:"He who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day."
Saddam Hussein
fought
and refused
to run away.
Saddam Hussein fought his battle
and refused to run away,
and refused to run away,
and could not fight another day
and could not fight another day
because
there was
no more battle to fight.
If you want to live to fight another,
fight and run away,
fight and run away.
