lyrics

The Mercy Beat

You’ve tried the rest and you’ve been possessed
Now try the mercy beat
Got your claws in the eyes of the law
You should try the mercy beat

The mercy beat, it’s rocking steady now
The mercy beat, you’re getting ready now
Tired of being judge and jury
When all else fails, you will surely
Try the mercy beat

Changing places and losing face
Never felt so sweet
Everyone you meet will be tapping their feet
When you try the mercy beat

The mercy beat, it’s rocking steady now
The mercy beat, it’s where you’re heading now
Consequences last forever
Or maybe not – did you ever
Try the mercy beat?

I’m not talking about Liverpool
It’s not something you can ferry across
This river is gentle now but I’ve seen it tempest-tossed

I tried my best and it just got worse
Till I tried the mercy beat
My hair was on fire, I had five flat tires
Till I tried the mercy beat
So tired of being judge and jury
When you’re in jail, you will surely
Try the mercy beat
