Geordie - Mercenary Man Lyrics

Geordie Lyrics

"Mercenary Man"

Give him a gun and he'll fight your battles
Give him the money and he'll fight the world
He doesn't think twice about you or me
And one or two more and he'll kill for free

Mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man
Mercenary man, mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man

With your motor cars and color TV's
You earn your living without a degree
With money in your pockets and blood on your hands
And what do you do about the tax man

Mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man
Mercenary man, mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man

Mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man
Mercenary man, mercenary man
You better get it while you can
'Cause you ain't necessary, mercenary man

Mercenary man
You better get it while you can
