 now

Only the hand of grace can end the race

Towards another mushroom cloud

People in power, well

They'll do anything to keep their crown

I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now


Yeah, we all 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 some mercy now
