[Verse 1]
If you check before the lift off
There's a chance that you might get fried
And the lipstick little soldier
Is it gun for hire
You're the hero from the bathroom
When the frame got a building hire
It's a strange forgotten song
Gun for hire

[Chorus]
You mean nothing to me
It's best to keep your distance
You get nothing for free
It's all you'll ever be
So don't keep asking questions
I've got a knife to your throat

[Verse 2]
On a lonesome frozen alley
Lives a man with something to hide
Whеn the cardboard's getting soaked
Light a firе
Then the yes man gave a sally
With a gun and a pair of pliers
It's a strange forgotten song
Gun for hire
[Chorus]
You mean nothing to me
It's best to keep your distance
You get nothing for free
It's all you'll ever be
I can't keep asking questions
You've got a knife to my throat

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
If you check before the lift off
There's a chance that you might get fried
And the lipstick little soldier
Gun for hire

[Chorus]
You mean nothing to me
It's best to keep your distance
You get nothing for free
It's all you'll ever be
So sick of useless questions
I've got a knife to your throat
