Mercenaries (雇佣的) (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

It's a slow motion night[00:00:18]

In the hot city lights[00:00:21]

Past time when the good folks[00:00:22]

Are snoring in bed[00:00:24]

On a loose jointed cruise[00:00:26]

To recolor your blues[00:00:29]

An' with illegal notions alive[00:00:31]

Alive in your head[00:00:36]

And you are back from some war[00:00:45]

That you've been fighting for[00:00:47]

Some old blue blood bastard[00:00:49]

In a dark pinstripe suit[00:00:51]

And the word from your loins[00:00:53]

Has your mind in your groin[00:00:55]

And your back pocket burning with blood[00:00:57]

With blood money loot[00:01:03]

And you walk past the glow[00:01:11]

Of the flicker picture shows[00:01:14]

Where the raincoat men wait[00:01:16]

For a child to come by[00:01:18]

And the women in doorways[00:01:20]

Who have nothing to say[00:01:22]

'Cause your money is talking[00:01:24]

To the ones that you would try[00:01:26]

And she owns the block[00:01:39]

With the dead pawnshop clock[00:01:41]

She's the answer to dreams[00:01:43]

That you pay to come true[00:01:45]

She's got no heart of gold[00:01:47]

But that's not what she's sold[00:01:49]

She just sees herself doing what she[00:01:51]

What she has to do[00:01:56]

And she's all that you're hoping[00:02:05]

As her coat falls open[00:02:08]

Give her bread and she leads you[00:02:10]

To a bed on the floor[00:02:12]

Where the ten million years[00:02:14]

And through ten billion tears[00:02:16]

The armies bootmen have marched[00:02:18]

Back from their wars[00:02:22]

She's in that state of grace[00:02:32]

Before time finds her face[00:02:34]

With a mind of old wisdoms[00:02:36]

And a body still young[00:02:39]

And she tastes as sweet[00:02:41]

As a child's chaco chit[00:02:43]

Before the butts and the whiskey[00:02:45]

Had wasted the taste of your tongue[00:02:47]

Play the music again[00:02:59]

Of the Grey stubble men[00:03:02]

That groaning blue symphony[00:03:04]

Moans evermore[00:03:06]

And you watch as she fakes it[00:03:08]

And of course you just take it[00:03:10]

She's better than others[00:03:12]

You never paid your money for[00:03:14]

And you've used up your booty[00:03:39]

And the girl's done her duty[00:03:41]

And the turnstile has turned[00:03:43]

And you learn you are done[00:03:45]

And you're back on the street[00:03:47]

Joining fresh marching feet[00:03:49]

You see more soldiers coming[00:03:51]

And your girl chooses one[00:03:53]

And the medic has brought[00:04:05]

Shots for what you have caught[00:04:08]

And your leave is all over[00:04:10]

You're back on the line[00:04:12]

And you joke in the trenches[00:04:13]

Of the hot blooded wenches[00:04:16]

And the things that you'll do[00:04:18]

When they next give you the time[00:04:20]

And you're back in your army[00:04:33]

Back shedding red blood[00:04:35]

And you dream of the girl[00:04:37]

As you sleep in the mud[00:04:39]

And you know you'd swap with her[00:04:41]

If the deal could be made[00:04:43]

'Cause you'd rather be working at love[00:04:45]

At love as your trade[00:04:51]
