I was sitting in a crummy movie
With my hands on my chin
All the 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 a bar
And watching all the people there
All the loneliness in this world
It's just not fair
Love and mercy are what you need tonight
Oh, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
