I was sitting 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
verse 2
I was lying in my room,
And the news came on TV,
A lot of people out there hurting,
And it really scares me!
Love and mercy,
That's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you,
And your friends tonight
verse 3
I was standing in a crowded bar,
And watching all the people there,
Oh, the loneliness in this world,
Well, it's just not fair
Bridge
Oooooooooo ooooooooooo (x2)
Hey, love and mercy,
That's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you,
And your friends tonight
Coda
Love and mercy,
That's what you need tonight
Love and mercy tonight
