"Mercenary" is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).

2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).



"Mercenary," by Jack Conte


Lyrics:

If you don't want to,
then you don't have to.
If you don't need it,
then just don't take it.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.

You take the one road,
and I'll take the other.
You take the payload,
and I'll duck and cover.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.

Mercenary.
Mercenary.

We got a switchblade,
they got machine guns.
We got sore legs,
and they're coming to get us.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.

We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.

If you don't want to, then you don't have to.

Mercenary.
Mercenary.

@57beachbum Mercenary : one that serves merely for wages; especially : a soldier hired into foreign service

I think he knows exactly what he's talking about...

[Staydol]

I'm just waiting for this song to get co-opted by Occupy Wall Street.

[bumromance]

I love your music so much =)

[LiamAWade]

Love the overdubbed vocals. They definitely sound very airy and Joshua Radin-eque. Anyone else think so? Love the track.

[TheySaidNothing]

Jack: I love your music, but if I may make a point, it seems like you are choking those claves a little bit. The sound could be a bit more full if you hold them a bit differently. Not sure if that's how you wanted it, that's just what I noticed

[carsondm]

Why isn't he more well known?

[loveshinehero]

chords plox :D

[parawizard]

This reminds of Elliot Smith!

[nielsmyrner]

Pay load... duck and cover...

so true and liberating.

Freedom is in our hands.

Great song. Thank you!

[sauloleonel]

[bleemindthrice]

Elliot Smith would be proud. Great stuff J!

[SIMKINYX]
