Have Mercy

Ships are moving closer to the shorelineAnd we're laughing in the face of loaded gunsI saw it on the news, we ain't got no worryBut it won't be in the paper when D Day comesLord, Have MercyFor we know not what we doHave MercyWe've forgotten to be afraid of youWho can solve the problems of a nationWe cure the symptoms but we're killed by the diseaseI feel I've more than made my contributionBut I hope there's room in heaven for my ego and meLord, Have MercyFor we know not what we doHave MercyWe've forgotten to be afraid of youHave MercyLend us your handLord, Have MercyGive us just another chanceToo many coaches on the sidelineToo many keepers in the zooHow will we know we've passed the deadlineGive us the strength to stand or fallGod in heaven, Have Mercy on us allThe ships are even closer to the shorelineNow we're playing in a madman's house of funI read it in the news we ain't got no worryBut it won't be in the paper when D Day comesLord, Have mercy
