Rock'n Roll Mercenaries Songtext
von Meat Loaf

Talking money, power, horses, fun
Self, power, diamonds, ego, man, wealth, power
And talking power, and talking and talking
And talking power

Money is power, power is fame

Mmm, talkin′ about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Soilders of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Money is power, power is fame

Everything you pay to hear (just listen)
And everything to catch your ear (just listen)
Whatever it takes, they′re ready to sell
Anything and everything, they do it themselves

Talkin' about rock ′n' roll mercenaries
Soilders of fortune by some other name
I′m talking about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Money is power and power is fame


Young are the victims, so easily swayed
As some given are poisoned, so continuous placed
Our conscience is a load, so heavy to carry
For a rock 'n' roll mercenary

Talkin′ about rock ′n' roll mercenaries
Soilders of fortune by some other name
I′m talking about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Money is power and power is fame

Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talkin'
Talkin′, talkin′, talkin', talkin′
Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talkin′
Talkin', talkin', talkin′, talkin′
Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talk

It starts with a game, see how they play
′Til all of the laughter is faded away
Ooo, it's not for the soul, it′s not for the love
It's just for the gold and it's never enough (never enough)

Talkin′ about rock ′n' roll mercenaries
Soilders of fortune by some other name
I′m talking about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Money is power and power is fame

It's not for the soul, it′s not for the love
Oh, it's just for the gold, it's never enough


Talkin′ about rock ′n' roll mercenaries
Soilders of fortune by some other name
I′m talking about rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Money is power and power is fame

Rock 'n′ roll mercenaries
Oh
Talkin', talkin', talkin′, talkin′
Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talkin′
Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talkin' (rock ′n′ roll mercenaries)
Talkin', talkin′, talkin', talkin′ (ooh, talkin' about)
Talkin′, talkin', talkin', talkin′
Talkin′, talkin', talkin′, talkin' (rock ′n' roll mercenaries)
Talkin′, talkin', talkin'
