(I forgot how to format so just used Kirby’s) The only way I can format lyrics (and not lose my mind) is to write the lyrics in my text editor and use a macro to add the asterisks and the two spaces at the end. I select the text and end up with this… *And a senate healthcare plan*__ I used “__” to show two spaces at the end.

Song
I tried and failed to write some parody lyrics. It proved impossible to shoehorn stuff in. The song has hardly any lyrics.
I had a go at it…
Started with nine-eleven, yeah
This little career of mine
You got no time for the livin’
Workin’ for a merc’s next dime
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess I could be a better me
But I’m mercenary, man
They call me mercenary
I guess that’s what I am
Kickin’ doors & punchin’ clocks
For almost twenty long hard years
Say I’m doing it for my fellow man
But summit else is goin’ on here
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
Seat that’s not in some humvee
And a senate healthcare plan
Totenkopf is just customary
For a mercenary man
And they call me mercenary
So I guess that’s what I am
(I forgot how to format so just used Kirby’s)

And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, I’m workin’ all the time
[Chorus]
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am
[Outro]
