Soldier of Fortune Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 1]
Your punk rock safety net has grown so obvious
Your silence bought and spent
I hope it pays the rent
Cosplaying revolution
Fulfilling white illusions
Sanitized and safe at your request
Once upon a time in another life
The anger that you rhyme
Has simply bought you time
Now words are secondary
And ethics all but buried
Underneath that desperate pantomime
[Chorus]
So if it's gonna be a fight
I'll be here every damn night
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
Your words are nothing but lies
Cause when the music stops, you go quiet
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
You're a radical for a price
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 2]
I won't apologize for speaking up this time
I called you on your shit
Walk it off and deal with it
I don't need your shiny prizes
Nazis in hip disguises
Dancing on the backs of my dear friends
[Chorus]
So if it's gonna be a fight
I'll be here every damn night
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
Your words are nothing but lies
Cause when the music stops, you go quiet
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
[Bridge]
You're a soldier of fortune
A well-played distortion
The words you're screaming
Have lost their meaning
You oughta be ashamed
But you lost that virtue when you lost faith
In anything but getting yourself paid
So grab your check and walk the fuck away
(So grab your check and walk the fuck away)
[Chorus]
So if it's gonna be a fight
I'll be here every damn night
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
Your words are nothing but lies
Cause when the music stops, you go quiet
Yeah, I said what I said and I'll say it again
Cause you know I'm right
You're a radical for a price
[Outro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
