Mercenary

A new song and lyrics for The Vigilante Cannibal Nun. By Carol Murphy

Watch that girl

She’d murder you in your tracks

Offer it up to the Holy Ghost

Then tell you to watch your back

Mercenary

Have mercy in me

Play pretty

Give only to receive

Altruism shoots the breeze

We are all branded with need

I understand your greed

I love you just the same

Cause I play the same game

Not happy with what I’ve done

You abandon me to be alone

What did I do wrong?

It’s hardly the point

I’m lost without the laughs

Lost without your love
