Mercenaries (Ready for War) [Live, Grugahalle Essen 14.10.19]

Mercenaries are disunited, unfaithful
And they have nothing more to keep them in a battle
Other than a meager wage
Which is just about enough to make them wanna kill for you
But never enough to make them wanna die for ya

I'm just another soldier boy
I'm just another soldier boy
Looking for work, and dance
Looking for work, let's face it
Looking for work

My rifle is my friend
My rifle is my friend
I clean my rifle everyday
I clean my rifle everyday
That's why my rifle is my friend

Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war

Did some work in Zaire, filthy old Belgian Congo
Went back to Geneva to get paid
Back up Geneva, that's were the money flower
That's were the money grows, that's were the the microphone stand still
That's were the money flows

They didn't wanna pay me, I know that
They didn't wanna pay me, but they did
Try to separate me from my money
Is try to separate me from my life

Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war

Let's go to Moscow, let's go to Moscow
Let's go, let's go, let's go to Moscow
Fight a backdoor to the Kremlin
Push it down and walk on in
Howdee, howdee do it, junior
Howdee, howdee do it, junior
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go to Moscow

5000 feet and closing
Target visibility nine seven
4000 feet and closing
Target visibility eight five
3000 feet and closing

Target visibility nine eight
2000 feet and closing
Visibility eight five
1000 feet and closing
Visibility seven four
500 feet and closing
Visibility zero!

Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war
You better be ready for war
You better be ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
War, war
