Mercenary - Todd Rundgren

Close your eyes and plug your ears and turn away

I will carry out the task without dismay

Just leave upon the table what you’ve agreed to pay

Then tell me

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

I will do your dirty work

Tell me, how do you like me now?

Chances are you’ll never hear again from me

Not my style to put my business on the street

But you know where to find me and you also know my fee

So tell me

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now that I’ve

Done your dirty work

Tell me, how do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now that I’ve

Done your dirty work

Tell me, how do you like me now?

I will lay a foe to waste

For a grudge I’ve never had

I will burn a field of grain

For a spite I’ve never had

I will spoil the wealth of kings

For a greed I’ll never have

I will bring a nation down

For a cause I’ll never have

Close your eyes and plug your ears and turn away

You won’t have to face the consequence today

Tell me

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

That I’ve done your dirty work

Tell me, how do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

That I’ve done your dirty work

Tell me, how do you like me now?
