Lyrics

Merchant of Death

Standing in the Jungle, Making a Deal
The price is right it is really a Steal
I'm selling Guns to both sides, Baby.
That's the way you make the deals, Oh Yea

They call me, the Merchant of Death
You can't see me, just take your last breath
That's who I am, I'm the Merchant of Death.

Dancing in the Desert, Making a Deal
Money from both sides, it seems unreal!
It doesn't matter who gets killed?
It's not the money, it's just the thrill.

They call me, the Merchant of Death
You can't see me, just take your last breath
That's who I am, I'm the Merchant of Death

You know I am wanted by everybody!
CIA, War Lords, it's just bloody
I can't be touched, nobody sees me,
I don't exist, Just let it be.

They call me, the Merchant of Death
You can't see me, just take your last breath
That's who I am, I'm the Merchant of Death
