Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
Beware of that man standing by himself
He walks the line between life and death
Pay his price, he'll give you anything, anywhere
He does not care
He'll never let you get too close to him
You see his eyes, realize

[Refrain: Robert Lamm]
The man's a soldier of fortune

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
He goes to places only he can tell
He [?] no one
He makes it Hell
You're lucky you don't have to shar? his pain
So it sees is if it sleeps awake
He knows that ev?ry passing day he sees
Very well, he hears defeat

[Refrain: Robert Lamm]
The man's a soldier of fortune
The man's a soldier of fortune

[Chorus]
Soldier of fortune
Do you like your life?
Soldier of fortune
You won't move on tonight
You won't go home tonight
Soldier of fortune
Do you like your life?
Soldier of fortune
You won't move on tonight

?get him back!
o
[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]
He gon' do better dreams of cloudy skies
A dream is all he needs to cry
And if the summer shines rise today
He knows his eyes will be dead today
He won't lose it [?] of time
To leave behind those needless crimes

[Refrain: Robert Lamm]
Man's a soldier of fortune
Man's a soldier of fortune
Man's a soldier of fortune

[Outro: Robert Lamm]
And here's a real, oh he is real
But here's a real, ooh
