Rocksteady re-recording of track first published on Eric Blowtorch and the Inflammables-Quality Items 3LP

lyrics

Mercy (E. Beaumont )

Mercy, mercy, what a fine time
Mercy ‘pon the bosses and divine crime
Mercy, mercy to the broke man
Mercy – collecting Sprite and Coke can

Mercy! Mercy!

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy – Cannonball
Mercy won’t change investment plan at all
Mercy, mercy in a cold blood age
Mercy, mercy ‘midst the mad dog rage

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Oh, mercy!

Mercy, mercy to the human race
Mercy in destabilizer stormtroop’s face
Mercy, mercy when your blood boils over
Mercy to the driver in the bulldozer

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Oh, mercy! Sweet mercy! People, have mercy!

Mercy, mercy to the young guns
Mercy to the sons of Bat Mastersons
Mercy, mercy on your enemies
Mercy – stop the war and stop disease

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!
