Lear jet S.W.A.T team
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
Death from above"
We're screaming now
Where the pay is good
And the risk is high
It's understood
We'll do or die
Stun gun in hand
Where the gun is law
From Ovamboland
To Nicaragua
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Three young men
In a Russian truck
With a little MAC-10
Sent 'em running to the huts
These few young men
The few who dare
To battle in hell
Le Mercenaire!
Strength and muscle and jungle work
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
Death from above"
We're screaming now
Where the pay is good
And the risk is high
It's understood
We'll do or die
Stun gun in hand
Where the gun is law
From Ovamboland
To Nicaragua
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Three young men
In a Russian truck
With a little MAC-10
Sent 'em running to the huts
These few young men
The few who dare
To battle in hell
Le Mercenaire!
Strength and muscle and jungle work

Wow. Possibly my least favorite of all Warren Zevon's songs But geniuses can'r be at their utmost talent at all times.
WOW. It was my FAVORITE Zevon song. This song along with many others were, and still are favorites of those of us who serve in the armed forces.<br /> <br /> His great talent will be missed.
