Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear-
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears-
And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared-
But it would linger on for years--

It said "You can't just blame it on our mothers-
Claim everything they did was always wrong"--
And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)-
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash--

So mercy, mercy, mercy me-
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet-
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe-
Mercy Mercy me--

"We can't just blame it on our mothers-
Claim everything they did was always wrong"--
And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)-
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it craaaaaash--

So mercy, mercy, mercy me-
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet-
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe-
Mercy Mercy me--

That's all they came for, that's all they took-
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks-
And when they realized we'd given all we could, that's when they finally understood-
Mercy mercy mercy me-
Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see-
Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak-
Mercy mercy me

(softly)
We can't quite blame it on our mothers-
Claim everything I did was always wrong--
And there ain't no turning back when your train is off its track-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash-
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash--

Watch it crash-
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash...
