Mercenary lyrics
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 mouth-guard
To keep your teeth when you fall
And when you quit,
Make sure that you can
Wash you hands of it

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 Nobel 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 crappy songs
And when you quit
Make sure that you can wash your hands of it

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
