Mercy Down

[Verse 1] There's a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb's head growing from a grapevine There's an old man laughing in the backyard Catching crooks and crickets in the bell jar [Verse 2] I've been waiting for my woman to relieve me But she's outside climbing on the oak tree There's a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb's head growing from a grapevine Growing from a grapevine [Chorus] Yeah-ah, it's getting biblical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah-ah, it's getting mythical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down Throw your mercy down [Verse 3] There's a madman tapping at the window With a pocket full of innuendo There's a joker poking at the doorbell And a sparrow drowning in the inkwell [Verse 4] I've been waiting for my lover to relieve me But they're outside swinging from the oak tree Swinging from the oak tree [Chorus] Yeah, it's getting biblical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah, it's getting mythical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down [Bridge] There's a tyrant on the throne And a clown on every screen Compelling us to stay at home In this low-grade fever dream But we're gathering our strength We're becoming less afraid That there's hope for us in This unholy mess we've made [Chorus] Hey! It's getting biblical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Hey, it's getting mythical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down It's getting biblical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah, it's getting mythical now (Woah-oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down And throw your mercy down
