letra de mercenary - brave saint saturn
i was the future,
in nineteen-ninety-five,
i watched the flashbulbs burst,
whenever i’d arrive.
i’d tape my knuckles up,
cinched and tight for the ring,
just beneath the gloves,
clenching white for the swing.
i was a sellout,
before a sellout crowd,
i threw the fight in my head,
before the fat lady bowed.
you want a tip-off,
some good advice for the brawl?
just wear a mouth-guard,
to keep your teeth when you fall.
and when you quit,
make sure that you can wash your hands of it.
chorus
armed to the teeth,
score one for treachery,
i am a mercenary.
there’s more lies here,
than we can all bury
i am a mercenary.
i’ve seen the headlines,
swarming thick with flies.
i’ve seen the billboard charts
i’ve heard them spitting lies.
here’s to your lame award,
your phony n-bel prize.
here’s to the suckers lining up
to see us compromise.
let’s light a campfire,
we’ll have a sing along,
i’ll burn some bridges,
you’ll bring the cr-ppy songs.
and when you quit,
make sure that you can wash your hands of it.
bridge
there’s a part of me i’ve compromised,
buried somewhere under ghosts of lies.
make it quick, make it sick,
turn the crank and just play the greatest hits… sigh.
there’s a part of me that i despise,
pull the curtain back and see what dies.
emerald spires of the near profound,
let’s burn this lousy city down.
