Ships are moving closer to the shoreline
And we're laughing in the face of a loaded guns
I saw it on the news
we ain't got no worry
But it won't be in the paper when D-day comes
Lord
have mercy
For we know not what we do
Have mercy
We've forgotten to be afraid of you
Who can solve the problems of a nation?
We cure the symptoms but we're killed by the disease
I feel I've more than made my contribution
But I hope there's room in heaven for my ego and me
Lord
have mercy
For we know not what we do
Have mercy
yeah
We've forgotten to be afraid of you
(Have mercy)
Have mercy
Lend us your hand
Lord
have mercy
Give us just another chance
Too many coaches on the sideline
yeah
Too many keepers in the zoo
How will we know we've passed the deadline
Give us the strength to stand or fall
God in heaven have mercy on us all
Have mercy
Lord
have mercy
How will we know we've passed the deadline
Give us the strength to stand or fall
God in heaven have mercy on us all
Ships are even closer to the shoreline
Now we're playing in a madman's house of fun
I read it in the news
we ain't got no worry
But it won't be in the paper when D-day comes
Lord
have mercy
For we know not what we do
Have mercy
yeah
We've forgotten to be afraid of you
(Have mercy)
Have mercy
Lend us your hand
Lord
have mercy
Give us just one more chance
(Have mercy)
Lord
have mercy
(Have mercy)
Lord
have mercy
