Nobody wins this race we run
This hedonistic marathon
Where creature comforts offer none
We're either drunk or thirsty
We take it with a grain of salt
The haves and the have-nots gestalt
It's always someone else's fault
Have a little mercy
With such impressive pedigrees
Coordinating refugees
But who needs foes with friends like these?
We cut and then we curtsey
We sit here, on the tallest stack
Begrudging these few things we lack
But who will make us give them back?
Have a little mercy
There's hope and love in everyone
But history can't be undone
The race for peace can still be won
Tell me, who will the first be?
Nobody blinks. nobody bends
As each destroys what each defends
We all know how that story ends
Have a little mercy
We all know how this story ends
Have a little mercy
