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   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      Love and mercy that’s what we need tonight    Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
