Way Down On Mercy Lyrics

Waiting round on every street corner

Waiting round both day and night

No job no life got no money

Losing hope and losing the fight

Way down in this town, I find them all alone

Way down on Mercy, I know they're all the same

Way down in this town, I find them all alone

Way down on Mercy, I know they're all the same

All alone

There was a time when life was alive here

When there was dancing every day

People working, love and honour

A good day's work for a good day's pay

I see them all the time, they don't give up the fight

Way down on Mercy, waiting for the light

I see them all the time, they don't give up the fight

Way down on Mercy, waiting for the light

For the light

Then they came those men in the grey suits

With hollow plans of profit and gain

We let those people poison the roots and

Then we knew that we were to blame

We're with them all the time, waiting for life to start

We're way down on Mercy, sharing our broken hearts

The street's a battlefield, a lane of scattered dreams

It's not too late to feel, this pain's not what it seems

Way down in this town, I know we're not alone

Way down on Mercy, we're fighting all the same

We still refuse to frown, the street is now our home

It's way down on Mercy, but mercy's coming home

Coming home
