Lyrics
Mercy
Words and music by Scott Jackson
You hand me a gun
Then say don?t shoot
You show me the tree
And say don?t pick the fruit
Are you for real
Or are you just bein? cute
You poured me the wine
And you tell me to drink
You break off some bread
And say what d?ya think
I think you?re tryin? to be
Something that you ain?t
(Chorus)
Somebody wants you to beg
Somebody wants you to cry
Somebody wants you to plead
For Mercy
You?re caught in a storm
And looking for shore
You paddle like hell
With 2 broken oars
It?s a shame how those Terns
Can easily soar
(Chorus)
Somebody wants you to beg
Somebody wants you to cry
Somebody wants you to plead
For Mercy
You look to the West
And you try to find God
Cause somebody told you
That?s where she was
But all that you see
Is light fading to dark.
(Chorus)
Somebody wants you to beg
Somebody wants you to cry
Somebody wants you to plead
For Mercy
Somebody wants you to beg
Somebody wants you to cry
Somebody wants you to try
