I know a girl who goes by the freeway
I know someone who's angry at what they say
I know a girl who thinks the mirrors nice
Don't get nothing less you pay the price
This ain't no history Mercenary Man
This ain't no election, no folk singers here
Yes I learnt way back to bite my tongue
Can't do nothing but to have fun
i learned to close my mouth
Don't put up a fight, but to shout for......
This ain't no history Mercenary man
Yeah this ain't no party
Cos the only way to the way I learned way back
Give the dog a bone
I learned to wait alone, right?
Yeah I had a friend who drank tooo much
I had a friend who was involved in such and such
He lost his wife, his family too
But he's got something on you...
This ain't no history Mercenary Man
This ain't no election no folk singers here
And I learned the way to calm my fears
Yeah I found a wat to sleep at night
Don't think about the bright city lights
Yes I had a friend who drank too much
He was involved in such and such and such
Lost his family, lost his wife
Yeah but the man's still got his life
This ain't no history no mercenary man
This ain't no election, no folk singers here
I have to run now, to get another beer
All my friends in the dead of night
I ain't never gonna put up a fight.
