lyrics

Mercy is a dated thing
yea you're singing a very old tune

But you've yet to show me what shouldn't already be mine

I'm finally ready to give my body away
done took the right steps in this battered brown thing
can't speak for us all, and I mustn't try
You've got the right to be violent when faced with brutality

you angsty takin fucker thinking you got the short stick of everything
You've got the right to be violent when faced with brutality

They laugh at our hope while we choke on our forced gods rope
They smile at our pain while thanking their god for the silencing choke
you angsty takin fucker thinking you got the short stick of everything
You've got the right to be violent when faced with brutality

I'd rather burn right now, then stay down on my knees
you took this innocent child, and put her in front of a speeding train
heard you were clipping wings come and take a chance with me
you've been acting carelessly don't say it's about mercy
Cause I will knock you down for I let you take another like me.
