Mercy

Lately, I've been worried sick, don't know what I can do We've gambled on your lives but we can't pay Let me tell you little kids how your dad has failed you too, well Fairy tales are currency today Most men will work forever just to feed our endless greed Some still carry pain that we will never fill While we were burning money buying shit that we don't need Others had to fight for every meal Mercy, mercy, I wish I've been someone better Sorry, I am sorry that I was born somewhere safer Life and beauty - if only I could give what we stole Mercy, give me mercy, some things I can't control I hope you'll never know how it fills to fight a war you cannot win Our future, all our lives are up for sale Will you kids be able to go outside and see a view that's green Excuse me if a look a little pale Mercy, mercy, I wish I've been someone better Sorry, I am sorry that I was born somewhere safer Life and beauty - if only I could give what we stole Mercy, give me mercy, some things I can't control Mercy, mercy, I wish I've been someone better Sorry, I am sorry that I was born somewhere Life and beauty - if only I could give what we stole Mercy, give me mercy, some things I can't control
