Talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Money is power, and power is fame
Everything you pay to hear - just listen
Everything to catch your ear - just listen
Whatever it takes, they're ready to sell
Anything and everything they do it themselves
Young are the victims so easily swayed
As some given are poisoned, all continuous placed
Our conscience is a load, so heavy to carry,
For a rock 'n' roll mercenary
It starts with a game, see how they play
Till all of the laughter is faded away
It's not for the song, it's not for the love
It's just for the gold and there's never enough
Rock 'n' roll mercenaries
