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
