Mercy Now

My father; could use a little mercy now
 The fruits of his labor; fall and rot here on the ground
 His work is almost over; pretty soon he won't be around
 I love my father; he could use a little mercy now
 My brother; could use a little mercy now
 He's a stranger to freedom; shackled to his fears and doubts
 The pain that he lives in; it's almost more than living will allow
 And I love my brother; he could use a little mercy now
 Oh, yes he can
 Every living thing; could use a little mercy now
 Only the hand of grace; can end the race towards the mushroom cloud
 The people in power; they'll do anything to keep their crown
 I love life and life itself; could use a little mercy now
 Everything; could use a little mercy now
 I know we don't deserve it; but we need it anyhow
 We hang in the balance; dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
 Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
 Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
 Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
