(Talking, Talking - Wealth, Talking - Money, Talking - Power

Talking - Horses, Talking - Fun, Talking - Self, Talking - Power

Talking - Diamonds, Talking - Ego, Talking - Man, Talking - Wealth)

(And Talking - Power) (repeats)



Money Is Power, Power Is Fame



Chorus:



Talking About Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries

Soldiers Of Fortune By Some Other Name

I'm Talking About Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries

Money Is Power, 'n' Power Is Fame



Everything You Pay To Hear - Just Listen

Everything To Catch Your Ear - Just Listen

Whatever It Takes, They're Ready To Sell

Anything And Everything They Do It Themselves



(chorus)



Young Are The Victims So Easily [swayed/slain]

[As Some Given Are Poisoned, All Continuous Placed]

Our Conscience Is A Load, So Heavy To Carry, For A Rock 'n' Roll Mercenary



(chorus)



It Starts With A Game, See How They Play

Till All Of The Laughter Is Faded Away

It's Not For The Song, It's Not For The Love

It's Just For The Gold And There's Never Enough - Never Enough



(chorus)



It's Not For The Song, It's Not For The Love

It's Just For The Gold, There's Never Enough



(chorus)



(Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries)



(Talking, Talking) (repeats Out)



Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries - Ooh, Talkin' About

Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries... (to Fade)
