Have Mercy

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
