Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love
Dear Father, will you hear me pray
For I signed my life away, yeah
My heart is in distress, it's true, oh, child
(My heart is in distress, it's true)
But still I don't believe in you
(Doo, doo, doo)
Religion, love and war are all that's left
And I don't know what it is I love best
(I love best)
To be invisible or to be your faithful friend
(To be invisible)
You can call me a fool but my faith will never end
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Put your money where your mouth is, dear
For every cause you have a different cure
(Different cure)
There's a killing to be made
(To be made)
If you plan it the right way
Oh, honey, there's only so many hours in a day
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Have you nothing to believe in anymore
Well, the cupboard's bare
And the hope lies on the floor
(On the floor)
Do you really think I would give
My life to an ideal anymore
Well, I came out in sympathy
But now I've got my life to lead, and it's...
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Religion, love and war are all that's left
And I don't know what it is I love best
I sense something missing when we do our kissing
You can call me cold but the truth is
I'm just freezing in the winter, winter rain
And it's mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
Like mercy, pity, peace and love
Mercy, pity, peace and love
(Doo, doo, doo)
And it's mercy, pity, peace and love
