Year 2012
Songwriter Jeanne Lorimer
Categories War & Peace
by: Jeanne Lorimer Blackwater men are strong and tall, Mercenaries one and all. Earn their wages free and clear, Shooting bullets far and near. Chorus: Keeping peace, keeping peace. All for democracy. If their bullets go astray, “What the hell,” you hear them say. They’re here to watch over you. Surely, you do have a clue! Chorus. Wages are spectacular. Just who pays them is not “clar.” Ten thousand dollars monthly due. Military men: that’s not for you. Chorus Yes, Blackwater men are strong and tall, Mercenaries, one and all. Earn their wages free and clear, Shooting bullets far and near Chorus
