[Verse 1]
I was sitting in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin
All the violence that occurs, seems like we never win

[Chorus]
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

[Verse 2]
I was lying in my room and the news came on TV
A lot of people out there hurting and it really scares me

[Chorus]
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I was standing in a bar and watching all the people there
Oh, the loneliness in this world, well, it's just not fair

[Chorus]
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight

[Outro]
Love and mercy tonight
Love and mercy tonight
Love and mercy tonight
Love and mercy tonight
Love and mercy
