Show a Little Mercy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It used to be
That life was cheap,
With bodies dropping all around,
But now I find
Good hearts are weak,
And love lies bleeding on the ground.
Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
We're victims of
A lack of faith,
Don't leap into the great unknown,
Unless you know
You've got the goods,
Can stand it living on your own.
Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
We share the guilt,
Of peapole in the name of love,
First build them up,
Then break them down,
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
