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



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
