Soldier of Fortune

Hey! Hey! Hey! 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 another time, in another life The anger that you rhymed has simply bought you time Now words are secondary and ethics all but buried Underneath a desperate pantomime 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! 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 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 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 (Grab your check and walk the fuck away!) 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!
