Don't wanna study on the G.I. bill
Want more action, haven't had my fill
Mercenary, fight for anyone
Fight for money
Fight for fun
Let's go
Got a country you wanna protect
But your army is more likely to defect
Hire my SMG with a full clip
On automatic it's a guaranteed hit
Let's go
Gee it's kinda scary out here
Mosquitos are happy tonight
Mommy, daddy, can I please come home
Even if just for one night
Let's go
Shocked how deadly we fight back
Troublemakers who attack
Mercenary, fight for anyone
Fight for money, fight for fun
Let's go
Want more action, haven't had my fill
Mercenary, fight for anyone
Fight for money
Fight for fun
But your army is more likely to defect
Hire my SMG with a full clip
On automatic it's a guaranteed hit
Mosquitos are happy tonight
Mommy, daddy, can I please come home
Even if just for one night
Troublemakers who attack
Mercenary, fight for anyone
Fight for money, fight for fun

The club where I go to shows almost always plays this song in between sets when the next band is setting up. Now I can't hear the song without getting really pumped up like I'm going to see a show.
I think it's about going to war, and how the character is scared, but gradually becomes more powerful, and is proud of what he's become.
