John Cale - Mercenaries (Ready For War) lyrics

[John Cale - Mercenaries Ready For War lyrics]

Mercenaries are useless, disunited
Unfaithful they have nothing more to keep
Them in a battle other than a meager wage
Which is just about enough to make
Them wanna kill for you
But never enough to make them
Wanna die for ya

I'm just another soldier boy
I'm just another soldier boy
Looking for work looking for work
Looking for work

My rifle is my friend my rifle is my friend
I clean my rifle everyday
I clean my rifle everyday
That's why my rifle is my friend

Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war


Ready for war, ready for war

Did some work in Zaire
The jolly old Belgian Congo
Went back to Geneva to get paid
Back there in Geneva
That's were the money grows
That's were the money grows
That's were the money flows

They didn't wanna pay me
They didn't wanna pay me, but they did
Try to separate me from my money
Is try to separate me from my life

Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war

Let's go to Moscow, let's go to Moscow
Let's go, let's go, let's go to Moscow
Fight a backdoor to the Kremlin
Push it down and walk on in

5000 feet and closing
Target visibility one nine
4000 feet and closing
Target visibility two six
3000 feet and closing
Target visibility seven nine
2000 feet and closing visibility one ten
1000 feet and closing visibility seven four
500 feet and closing target visibility zero

Ready for war, ready for war
You better be ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Are you ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
