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 We cant just blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong And there aint no turning back when our train is off its track And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash watch it crash And there aint no right or wrong when we know it wont be long And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash So mercy, mercy, mercy me Praying for the death of a man Ill never meet Though everyone will know the truth theyll still just make believe Mercy mercy me We cant just blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong And there aint no turning back when the train is off its track And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash watch it crash And there aint no right or wrong when we know it wont be long And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash So mercy, mercy, mercy me Praying for the death of a man Ill never meet Though everyone will know the truth theyll still just make believe Mercy mercy me Thats all they came for, thats all they took Thats all we had to offer, only dirty looks And when they realized wed given all we could, thats when they finally understood Mercy mercy mercy me Haunted by the memories of things well never see Guilty for the statements that well never get to speak Mercy mercy me We cant quite blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong And there aint no turning back when your train is off its track And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash And there aint no right or wrong when we know it wont be long And theres nothing we can do but watch it crash Watch it crash and theres nothing we can do but watch it crash
mercy, crash, watch, wrong, nothing
