Riding away
Riding afar in the dust
Riding away from my life
Riding to cause my next fuss
When life is jack
And I can never be back
I'm off for patriotic manners
On my Captain's deck
This is my story
This is my truth
This has been me since my early youth
I can't escape it
I can't break free
This is my contract
How minor's the fee

Spying is my business
X is my name
It may sound harsh
Well, welcome to my game
Fooling the damned
And damning the fools
Leading them to be
My working tools

My face is for hire
I'm always for rent
How good is the cause
But how bad is its scent
A crook like every other
The laws I abuse
But my conscience lies free
For a national excuse
This is my story
This is my truth
This has been me since my early youth
I can't escape it
I can't break free
This is my contract
How minor's the fee

Spying is my business
X is my name
It may sound harsh
Well, welcome to my game
Fooling the damned
And damning the fools
Leading them to be
My working tools
