love and mercy

i was sittin' in a crummy movie

with my hands on my chin

all the violence that occurs

seems like we never win

love and mercy

that's what you need tonight

so love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

i was lying in my room

and the news came on tv

a lotta people out there hurtin'

and it really scares me

love and mercy

that's what you need tonight

love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

i was standing in a bar

and watching all the people there

oh

the loneliness in this world

well it's just not fair

hey

love and mercy

that's what we need tonight

so love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

love and mercy

that's what you need tonight

love and mercy tonight

love and mercy tonight
