Mercy Mercy

In a dark backroom or a crowded street

In private life or public speech

Keep everything away from the stifling grip

The bureaucratic eye, the red tape brigade

It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay

We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah

Have mercy mercy on me

Have mercy mercy on me

Never occurred to us that we were doing any wrong

Never occurred to us 'cause we were harming anyone

On a crowded street or dark backroom

In private life or public speech

Keep everything away from the stifling grip

The bureaucratic eye, the red tape brigade

It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay

We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah

Have mercy mercy on me

Have mercy mercy on me

Never occurred to 'cause we were harming anyone

Never occurred to us that we were doing any wrong

Have mercy mercy on me

Have mercy mercy on me

Mercy mercy mercy on me

Have mercy mercy on me

Have mercy mercy on me

Mercy mercy mercy on me
