I was sittin' in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin

Oh 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 lyin' in my room and the news came on T.V.

A lotta people out there hurtin' 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 standin' in a bar and watchin' all the people there

Oh the lonliness in this world well it's just not fair

Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo

Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo

Ahhhhh-ahhhhhh-ahhhhhh-ohhhhhh-ohhhhhh

Hey love and mercy that's what you need tonight

So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight

Love and mercy tonight

Love and mercy
