It used to be
That life was cheap,
With bodies dropping all around,
But now I find
Good hearts are weak,
And love lies bleeding on the ground.

Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.

We're victims of
A lack of faith,
Don't leap into the great unknown,
Unless you know
You've got the goods,
Can stand it living on your own.

Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.

We share the guilt,
Of peapole in the name of love,
First build them up,
Then break them down,
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.

Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
