Mercy On The Boy Lyrics

MERCY ON THE BOY (I. Davies/R. Kretschmer)
----------------------------------------

if I ever get out of here
well I might just set alight to this town
swinging out that ball and chain
gonna, bring these four walls tumbling down
so you take a fool like me
yeah and throw away the key
spend my wasted days doing time
breaking these rocks in my head
but you know you`re better off dead
when the judges bring the hammer down
a little
mercy on the boy
you know it ain`t easy

if I ever get out of here
gonna be a price to pay for this crime
well there ain`t no place to hide
and there ain`t no god on your side `til the kingdom comes
gonna bend these cold steel bars
gonna scream it till somebody hears
ain`t a cage that can keep me inside
breaking these rocks in my head
but you know you`re better off dead
when the judges bring the hammer down
just a little
mercy on the boy
you know it ain`t easy

mercy on the boy
