Mercy, have mercy on me America, you won't get no mercy Mercy, have mercy on me America, do you believe in mercy? Penance, I got a penance but I got no god So I won't get no mercy Money, just makes ya hungry America, there's your god. Mercy, have mercy on me America, you won't get no mercy Mercy, have mercy on me America, you won't get no mercy I'm a lover, like no other, know how to get down on my knees, beggin', til the morning sings Even if my (?) job ships, saunter up with swollen lip, bleary eyed and talking shit, easily we could loose our grip So Mercy, mercy, tell the whole world your wide story, Mercy, mercy, here's another island worry Mercy, mercy, lord lord have mercy Mercy, mercy, lord lord have mercy Mercy, have mercy on me (Mercy, mercy, lord, lord, have mercy) America, you won't get no mercy (Mercy, mercy, lord, lord, have mercy) Mercy, have mercy on me America, do you believe in mercy? Mercy, have mercy on me America, you won't get no mercy
