By Jorge Calderon and Warren Zevon 1980 Zevon Music BMI. 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. Sten 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.
