You make a living by being a spy   Up for hire as a private eye   Covert operation, tap a telephone   Hack into a hard drive, you re on your own   The fear of death is what keeps you alive   A deadly mission you must survive   You lurk in shadows, darkness a friend   The lies begin and never end      It's not for glamour and it's not for fame   You have a number, not a name   You take your chances out on a limb   You make your chances not on a whim      Secret agent, your law is a gun   Secret agent, you trust no one   Secret agent, a man in black   Secret agent, a gun at your back   Got to get away with what you can   Got to make a secret plan   Secret agent man!      Truth is out there, you know it s a lie   Trust no one, if you do you die   Government deployed, what s at stake?   Double agent out on the take   Charged with treason, secrets to sell   Signed in blood, a contract with hell   Followed orders, no questions asked   Suicide mission, could be your last      Secret agent, nothing to do   Secret agent, the cold war is through   Secret agent, it's espionage   Secret agent, it's sabotage
