World Without Mercy lyrics

Artist  : Violent Femmes 
Song : World Without Mercy
 


When your words have no meaning
and you're
known as no one,
am I someone to
you,
someone to turn to,
even when others
turn away?
Even though others turn
away?

When history blurs,
and every
man, women, and child,
are left outside with
no phones to be dialed,
you can't call me, I
can't you.
You can't call me, I can't
you.

In a world without mercy,
people
dine outside your door.
In a world without
mercy,
you don't have to lie anymore.
You
don't have to cry anymore.

When laughter
loses all its humor
and the joke is on
you,
don't take it so personal,
all this
world reversal.
The things they said don't
matter anyway.
The things they said don't
matter anyway.

In a world without
mercy,
people dine outside your door.
In a
world without mercy,
you don't have to lie
anymore.
You don't have to cry
anymore.

Oh, can it be so painful?
Can
it be so blind?
Love is vicious
angel,
fluttering wings, trapped inside your
mind.

When your words have no
meaning
and you're known as no one,
am I
someone to you,
someone to turn to,
even
when others turn away?
