Lyrics

Mercenary


Most the fights I get in are other people’s wars
It’s harder to remember just what I’m fightin for
My path is paved altruistic but survival’s face to face
When enemies become allies that’s just given grace

Oh, trouble comes and trouble goes it ain’t too bright to see
I guess I’m just a mercenary
If you can’t lie and I just smile we just can’t let it be
I guess I’m just a mercenary
Let’s unify, protect what’s right even if it is, temporary

Before words, ideas made decisions, not to compromise
Repeat paths entangle emerging from our eyes
Our end result might be different but our enemy’s the same
Strike hard with a vengeance, pick from the remains

Oh, trouble comes and trouble goes it ain’t too bright to see
I guess I’m just a mercenary
If you can’t lie and I just smile we just can’t let it be
I guess I’m just a mercenary
Let’s unify, protect what’s right even if it is, temporary
