Lyrics

Talking money, power, horses, fun Self, power, diamonds, ego, man, wealth, power And talking power, and talking and talking And talking power Money is power, power is fame Mmm, talkin' about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Soilders of fortune by some other name I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Money is power, power is fame Everything you pay to hear (just listen) And everything to catch your ear (just listen) Whatever it takes, they're ready to sell Anything and everything, they do it themselves Talkin' about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Soilders of fortune by some other name I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Money is power and power is fame Young are the victims, so easily swayed As some given are poisoned, so continuous placed Our conscience is a load, so heavy to carry For a rock 'n' roll mercenary Talkin' about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Soilders of fortune by some other name I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Money is power and power is fame Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk It starts with a game, see how they play 'Til all of the laughter is faded away Ooo, it's not for the soul, it's not for the love It's just for the gold and it's never enough (never enough) Talkin' about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Soilders of fortune by some other name I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Money is power and power is fame It's not for the soul, it's not for the love Oh, it's just for the gold, it's never enough Talkin' about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Soilders of fortune by some other name I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries Money is power and power is fame Rock 'n' roll mercenaries Oh Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' (rock 'n' roll mercenaries) Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' (ooh, talkin' about) Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' (rock 'n' roll mercenaries) Talkin', talkin', talkin'
