I was sitting in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin all that violence that occurs seems like we never win Love and mercy are what you need tonight Oh, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight I was lying in my room and the news came on TV There's a lot of people out there hurting and it really scares me Love and mercy are what you need tonight Oh, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight I was standing in the bar and watching all the people there All the loneliness in this world It's just not fair Oohh, oohh.. Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight Oh, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight Oh, Love and mercy are what you need tonight Oh, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight dooh, dooh.. Mercy and love
