Verse 1: It's as bad as it has been |
|
For over 20 years but then |
|
I haven't been here all my life |
|
And all the wells are going dry |
|
All the bankers saying "bye-bye, Mr. Gray, |
|
We're glad we met |
|
But no money yet." |
|
Chorus: If I show my hands |
|
Would you watch them bleed? |
|
Long enough to prove they are indeed in need of mercy |
|
In need of mercy |
|
Verse 2: Dawn always breaks the noonday high |
|
Shade rarely offers alibi |
|
Or decent rest for such a man. If I think, I can |
|
Try harder some might say that I'm smarter |
|
But only God knows |
|
Only God knows who I am |
|
Chorus |
|
Bridge: I try to laugh about it |
|
I try not to cry about it |
|
Mamma always hates it when I cry |
|
What will it take to convince |
|
This is just the road to excellence |
|
Faith before the skeptic's eye |
|
Chorus |
|
Outro: I need your mercy me I need your mercy, mercy me. |
