We're all at the mercy | |
Of the 7 deadly sins | |
We're all at the mercy | |
Of the elements in this world we're in | |
We're all at the mercy | |
Of each other's little whims | |
And we're all at the mercy | |
Of the little man within | |
Show no mercy, no more mercy | |
For this little man within | |
We're all at the mercy | |
Of the little man within | |
Hey mister how did you fit | |
Into the same shoes as him? | |
No more mercy, mo more mercy | |
Show no mercy, no more mercy | |
For the little man within | |
He tears up all the countryside | |
Stops when he should begin | |
He drowns when he tries to walk on water | |
But he never learns to swim | |
He's an animal but he thinks he's God | |
Gets him mixed up with him | |
And we're all at the mercy | |
Of this little man within | |
He was doing fine in 39 | |
Thank God he did not win | |
He kept playing on his fiddle | |
As he watched old Rome cave in | |
He sold love away from his children's hearts | |
And told them it was sin | |
Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy | |
Of that little man within | |
Now he's sitting in the gardens | |
As the acid rain comes in | |
He got it covered full of rhino heads | |
And boots of leopard skin | |
He got the means, he make the harvest high | |
But you can count those hungry people die | |
We're all at the mercy | |
Of the greedy man within | |
So if you're feeling lonely, baby | |
If you're feeling blue | |
If you listen to your little friend | |
You know he'll tell you what to do | |
But if you hear his words and you get confused | |
Start believing they're all true | |
Then you have just been fooled again | |
Who said we won't get fooled again? | |
By the little man within | |
He might recognize the great one | |
He might understand what's good | |
But he believes that he can never live | |
The way they say he should | |
So he puts them in the asylum | |
And he just throws away the key | |
He keeps the deep freeze inside you | |
He keeps the deep freeze inside you | |
And he puts the light in me | |
So show no mercy, no more mercy | |
For the little man within | |
We're all at the mercy | |
Of this little man within | |
Hey sister, how did fit | |
Into the same shoes as him? | |
Show no mercy, show no mercy | |
Show no more mercy, no more mercy | |
For the little man within | |
Gonna kill, kill the little man within | |
Gonna kill, kill the little man within | |
Gonna kill the little man within | |
We've got to kill, kill the little man within, kill | |
Gonna kill the little man within |
