I was sitting in a crummy movie

With my hands on my chin

All the violence that occurs

Seems like we never win

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight so

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was lying in my room

And the news came on TV

A lot of people out there hurting

And it really scares me

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight so

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was standing in a bar

And watching all the people there

Oh the loneliness in this world

Well it's just not fair

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight so

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

Love and mercy tonight
