MERCENARY

I didn't want to get this drunk

T'was just a glass of wine

Looked for a cheese, a piece of bacon, read my Frankenstein

I didn't manage to get any friends by this

Looks like the finest culture can't afford a kiss

I'm just so lonely

Still trying to figure a way

That I'll get a less lonely day

Compulsively buying on credit

So I can get comments in Reddit

But who am I to ask for more?

I'm just a Mercenary

Fighting the demons of my soul in turn for my salary

And if I'm drunk then what's the matter? No one cares.

It's just the bit of pain that every loner shares.

I didn't want to deal with lust

T'was just a quest for hugs

No boys or girls would come to me

I end up loving drugs

I bought a mannequin with real human size

A pillow soft as hell too small to stuff my vice

I'm just a child

Still trying to stand in my feet

Removed from my mother's heartbeat

To hell with responsible life

I'd better just be dreaming in the night

But who am I to beg for love?

I'm just a Mercenary

Fighting the demons of my soul in turn for my salary

And if I'm lost then what's the matter? No one cares.

It's just the bit of pain that every orphan shares.

I didn't want to join the cult

Just wanted to be friends

I looked for people in Discord, in blogs and in events

I bought a Bible and a property near town

Now I'm the pope of the religion of the Clowns

I'm just afraid

Afraid I've become money's slave

Afraid that I will not be brave

If someone offers me a medal

Will I refuse to praise the golden cattle?

But who am I to ask for mercy?

I'm just a Mercenary

I sell my soul, I spend my time in turn for my salary

And if I'm heretic then what's the matter?

It's just the way I can ascend in social ladder

I didn't want to be the Master of the dungeon lanes

I'd better be the burgler or the guy who throws the flames

But I've discovered in this life there's just one choice: to be the man who plays or he who makes the toys

I've got some beer

If anyone could just sit here

We'll party, be merry, be cheer

So why is it I'm locked away?

I'm throwing parties but I can't engage

But who am I to seek attention?

I'm just a Mercenary

Fighting the demons of my soul in turn for my salary

And if I'm lacking what's the matter? No one cares.

I'm just the keeper of that bar that everybody shares

But who am I to keep on hoping?

I'm a Visionary

Twisting the demons of my soul till I've got plumsy fairies

I dream a world in wich the gold is treated as sand

A world where you're yourself and life is in your hand

So, who am I to keep on hoping?

I'm a Visionary

Twisting the demons of my soul till I've got plumsy fairies

In this my world there's some strange magic in the air

Cause there's no prisons and all love is Voluntary
