about

Co-written with Joe Hunt.

lyrics

Woke up today / My head in a vice / From some voodoo dream

The TV was blarin’ / The baby was cryin’ / When the newspaper hit the screen

The headlines read / In bold type / War is over

You can’t fix it with bombs / Can’t fix it with guns / Can’t fix it alone
Have Mercy Have Mercy

I ran out the door / looking for signs / of some civility
Out on the streets / What did I find? / A lack of decency
The billboards read / in ten foot words / Life is over

You can’t fix it with bombs / Can’t fix it with guns / Can’t fix it alone
Have Mercy Have Mercy

BRIDGE
This world’s not going to hell
It’s already there

Solo Verse & Chorus

Now I’d be the last / to say something’s wrong / but I can’t let it be
Down in the streets / of our little world / there’s people dying needlessly

You can’t fix it with bombs / Can’t fix it with guns / Can’t fix it alone
You can’t fix it with bombs / Can’t fix it with guns / Can’t fix it alone
Have Mercy Have Mercy
Have Mercy Have Mercy
