Dan Bull, Divide Music - Mando lyrics

Mandalorian, Mandalorian
An abandoned stranded orphan
Who was found as a foundling, handed all
He could have handled
Bounties coming out the walls
Standing tall, joined the tribe
Are you bound to fall upon
The point of a knife? If you're bountiful
What's the point living life
Without a calling you can rely on?
Buy in to the lifestyle of a bountly hunter
Neither light nor dark but a pale penumbra
Crawling out from under that rock that
His Salvador found him under can't help
But wonder what's under that helmet
Come on, if I can't have a look
Can you tell me? Mandalorian can perform for
Any tough crowd in Carbonite
That's a captive audience
Keeping them alive in stacks
An actual people filofax


Is he smiling behind the mask
Or is he keeping his mind on the task?
Eyes that'll flash behind the
Glass ever vigilant
Slide side to side and catch a vision
That didn't affect the less diligent
Jarring the legend, intelligent Din Djarin
Deleting dilly dallying dilettantes who
Come around here with delusions of grandeur
Like an off-brand Brando
If I'm honest, tell you what though
Mando's no Rambo, no Jango
No Django, no Holmes, no
Rathbone, no Frodo, Han Solo
No Lando, no landowner
Mando's standing alone
When he goes commando, goes hard on
The Eau de Vie, Tihaar, no
Hangover, no action figure, no Hasbro
Go Kenner or go home, that's a dad joke

Coming up out of the underground
Where my elders found me
They gave me their help
Now I give it myself to secure that bounty
Accumulate wealth while I'm
Moving in stealth and I'm doing it well
See you're stepping up onto a
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian

Same Kriff, different day
What is it they say? This is the way
No gain without significant pain
And no pain without significant pay
So if you can pay enough Beskar
Then Din's up to take on a Death Star
His job satisfaction isn't surveyed
But getting the payment's the best part
Except ever since he met that kid
His head's been set to protect that kid
Sudden paternal urges
Overcoming the summoning murderous
Words of a certain Werner Herzog
Not going to stop and just
Watch while they hurt him
Ain't no trading and negotiating over
Baby Yoda taking over every waking moment
Too cute, overloading your daily quota
'Til your brain is broken
Like you're Ray Liotta
Aw, what a doting father
Breaking the brief's going to
Grief Greef Karga
Better briefly see the armorer
And then leave Nevarro for
An even father world a motherland
Another planet docking underground
To have the upper hand, understand it
Another mother's son but this
Man's going to dad it and I stan it
Because from experience, loving a kid is
As tough as obsidian
Nothing's as good as it
What, give it in? Let Moff Gideon
Win and give him the pleasure
Of getting all the dividends?
Nah, not happening
Like Din taking off his mask again
Splash, the Empire was a
Wide ocean, deep too, so keep your eyes open
My advice would be to find
A visor that is bifocal
Both sides are focused
Everyone's out for their self in
This hellscape, failed state, society broken
Quietly hoping for their escape
But they'll be devastated, i have spoken

Coming up out of the underground
Where my elders found me
They gave me their help
Now I give it myself to secure that bounty
Accumulate wealth while I'm
Moving in stealth and I'm doing it well
See you're stepping up onto a
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
