RICHARD MARX - Have Mercy lyrics

rate me

Ships are moving closer to the shoreline

And we're laughing in the face of a loaded gun

I saw it on the news, we ain't got no worry

But it won't be in the paper when D-Day comes

Lord, Have Mercy

For we know not what we do

Have Mercy

We've forgotten to be afraid of you

Who can solve the problems of a nation

We cure the symptoms but we're killed by the disease

I feel I've more than made my contribution

But I hope there's room in heaven for my ego and me

Lord, Have Mercy

For we know not what we do

Have Mercy

We've forgotten to be afraid of you

Have Mercy

Lend us your hand

Lord, Have Mercy

Give us just another chance

Too many coaches on the sideline

Too many keepers in the zoo

How will we know we've passed the deadline

Give us the strength to stand or fall

God in heaven, Have mercy on us all

Ships are even closer to the shoreline

Now we're playing in a madman's house of fun

I read it in the news we ain't got no worry

But it won't be in the paper when D-Day comes

Lord, Have Mercy
