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
