Soldier of Fortune

Give it up to a lady of fortune.

And live with the price that you pay.

Can you see what’s around the next corner?

Or (do you) swallow the catch of the day?

Sometimes it might even happen -

That you take the prize in round one.

Sometimes it might catch you nappin’ -

And you wish you were back on the run.

Give it up to a soldier of fortune.

And live with the price that you pay.

Soon he’ll be off to a war zone

And you’ll be alone every day.

Give it up to a teller of fortunes.

And live with the story you're told.

Prediction rules like a dictum

Words control like mold.
