FULL LYRICS FOR THE SONG BELOW: I fight my enemies because that's what I’m paid to do I never hesitate to ask or even think it through I’d retire any day but I spend too much on guns and whores I ain’t gonna drop no more! (Chorus 1) Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die! Glory glory, I just hope I can get by! Glory, glory, I just wish they’d pay me more! I guess I’ll drop once more! The people that we’re fighting are Capellans through and through I ask for reinforcements but they said “That would be you” I’ll wait for them to eat themselves, that what I’m praying for I ain’t gonna drop no more! (Chorus 1) My actuator’s broken and my left arm’s gun is jammed The other day I saw them turn my best friend into ham For dinner I shall eat some pills that I found on the floor I might not drop once more! (Chorus 1) I got all kinds of upgrades and my Mek is fully blinged I like to fire my cannon just to hear my own ears ring Every single mission I swear it’s my last big score But I know that I’ll drop some more! (Chorus 1) My family is buried and my homeward is ablaze I do not see the irony, as one more town I raze I lost sight of all revengence creeds and the oaths I swore I just wanna drop some more! (Chorus 2) Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die! Glory, glory, I am blessed to be alive! Glory, lets all fight another war! Let’s all just drop once more! The client didn’t tell us what we would by fighting for And all I know for certain is I will not die from “Poor” In other words I’m just another fucking dog of war! I gladly drop once more! (Chorus 3) Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die! Glory, glory, I’m just lucky to be alive! Glory, lets all fight another war! Let’s all just drop once more! Never trust Capellans, or anything they say They’ll always stab you in the back just to get their way The only thing that’s worse is their shit, substandard pay I guess I’ll drop once more! (Chorus 4) Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die! Glory glory, I just hope I can get by! Glory, glory, I just wish they’d pay me more! Lets all go drop once more! I’ve fought my way through ’49 and even ’52 With no fucks given you’d be surprised by what you can do And when the shit has hit the fan you know who’ll fight your war Just pay me to drop some more! (Chorus 3) I’ve murdered filthy pirates and a few Capellans too I’ve stomped on goddamn planners and survived to tell it true If there’s one thing that I’m counting on it’s never being bored I’ll gladly drop once more! (Chorus 3) I’ve been paid in every coin that’s ever known to man I’ll fight for any reason because that’s frankly who I am Plausible deniability is what you pay me for! Fuck you pay me more! (Chorus 3) When you’re a mercenary there are seldom lasting rules And those who choose to live by them will often die as fools Warcrimes may just happen unless you choose to pay me more I’ll always drop some more! (Chorus 3) I’ve razed some noble houses, companies, and even schools I’ll fucking orphanages with the latest deadly tools I’ll raze entire cities because that’s what I’m best known for Pay me to drop some more! (Chorus 3) I am a problem solver I just use some different tools From AC10s to LRMs and anything that’s cool I’ll shoot your enemies and charge you by the fucking war I need to drop some more! (Chorus 3) From Solaris to Tukayyid, I have seen a thing or two And across my vast career I know there is one thing that is true I ain’t required to know just what the hell you’re fighting for I’M JUST GONNA DROP ONCE MORE!

... so this will be playing on loop in my homebuilt Urbanmech when the boogaloo kicks off.

This is song reminds me not everything I need to do has to have a higher moral calling. Life goes sideways sometimes, don’t think about it, embrace the madness, push through and get that reward.

Reminds me of how my friend went from "I will not drop once more" to "I might just drop once more" to "Let's all drop some more!" When first playing Helldivers 2

Now I'm imagining my merc's in HBS' Battletech singing this song as we fly towards the next contract, with me leading the song as Darius shakes his head and Yang singing the Capellan verses even louder.

This is just ... I'm wordless hahaha. I've heard it on the Exodus vid, but to be able to enjoy this properly and with Lyrics! Just too perfect!

@@theblackpantslegion A dreadful loophoke? I think you meant wonderful there Tex. It's either docked pay for minor accidental damage, or keep stomping until your employer begs you to stop with a fat bonus.

I've played every Mechwarrior including the OG Battletech on my Commodore 128D I bought in the Nuremberg PX while I was stationed in Erlangen West Germany back in the late 80s. I'm absolutely loving Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries and I just came across this. I think it's awesome! As an American Army veteran (19K) M1A1 gunner during Desert Storm I love how you took this song into the Battletech universe. Cheers.

Just as good as when I heard it over the credits at the end of your latest 2hr video. Very well written, well done, and surprisingly long. :) It just keeps going and going, and yet isn't all that repetitive (apart from the same repetition present in the original Battle Hymn :) ). Bravo!!

This made my day less shit. Thanks Tex!

this is a great bit of music to listen to while committing MAXIMUM WAR CRIMES

I know who, and what I'm fighting for. The highest bidder, and a pay check.

After the last Tex talks I scowered youtube and the rest of the god forsaken possible music sites for this, obviously i must of been looking with two eye patches on since it was on sound cloud. So thank you for uploading this Tex! Saving this in the Mechwarrior playlist x')

Shit forgot the cardnial rule of bpl never ever drink hot coffee when your watching a bpl video. On the upside my sinuses are clear now.

I've been humming "Glory, Glory What a hell of a way to die" to myself all day at work. I'm glad I found this song!
