Mercy # 3
houses burning, stolen earnings,
lifetimes sold to greed.
take their food, take their dreams,
just how much do you need?
equal rights, stand and fight,
you got nothing left to lose.
sell your children to the lie,
put your heads inside the noose!
and the hands on the clock
crawl like justice spurned...
tick tock, tick tock,
mercy gives what mercy earns!
