 now
 
Only the hand of grace can end the race
 
Towards another mushroom cloud
 
People in power, well
 
They'll do anything to keep their crown
 
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now
 
 
Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
 
I know we don't deserve it
 
But we need it anyhow
 
We hang in the balance
 
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
 
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
