I was sitting in a crummy movie
with my hands on my chin
all that violence that occurs
seems like we never win

Love and mercy are
what you need tonight
Oh, love and mercy to
you and your friends tonight

I was lying in my room
and the news came on TV
There's a lot of people out there hurting
and it really scares me

Love and mercy are
what you need tonight
Oh, love and mercy to
you and your friends tonight

I was standing in the bar
and watching all the people there
All the loneliness in this world
It's just not fair

Oohh, oohh.

Oh, love and mercy are
what you need tonight
Oh, love and mercy to
you and your friends tonight

Oh, Love and mercy are
what you need tonight
Oh, love and mercy to
you and your friends tonight

dooh, dooh.

Mercy and love
