E
You be a fightin' man
Make all the cash you can
Don't make civilian ties
They lie to rest, their lives
Takin' all you can
Risk ain't in the plan
Feel the boots upon the ground
Trouble brewing all around

I'll fight, fight in the night
Run away or die of fright
Keep in time, keep in line
Where there's smoke, there's fire

Dodging the bullets
Shooting the missiles
Soldiers of fortune
Such a pretty name
Face the game
You mercenary man

Call in the dogs of war
Send in the dogs of war

Chorus

Marchin' through the madness
Those mercenary men

(Dogs of war)
