Todd Rundgren - Mercenary Lyrics

Mercenary

Close your eyes and plug your ears and turn away
I will execute the task without dismay
Just leave upon the table what you've agreed to pay
Then tell me
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?
I will do your dirty work
Tell me, how do you like me now?
Chances are you'll never hear again from me
Not my style to put my business on the street
But you know where to find me and you also know my fee
So tell me
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now that I've
Done your dirty work
Tell me, how do you like me now?
I will lay a foe to waste
For a grudge I've never had
I will burn a field of grain
For a spite I've never had
I will spoil the wealth of kings
For a greed I'll never have
I will bring a nation down
For a cause I'll never have
