lyrics

The Mercenary
(H. Smalley)

Standing on the gallows
Noose around my neck
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Just a hired killer
Workin' for a wage
Job I was paid to do
Standin' for mercy
They don't hear
They never answer
The life of a hired killer
You know it leads down!

(Chorus)
When the mercenary
He gonna fight again
When the mercenary
He’s gonna fight
Fight till the end

Just a hired killer
Fightin' for a wage
Some of us are bound to die
Fighting politicians
All the politicians
They know the reasons why
Calling out for mercy
They don't hear
Never know what I'm gonna do
with my life
Say, if you want live,
If you wanna give
You gotta wear the part of me

(Repeat Chorus)

Mercenary!! No, no, no
