Mercy Town

I’m going down to Mercy Town

Going to have myself a look around, oh yeah

I’m going where the sun shines bright

And everybody’s soul is filled with light, oh yeah

And there’s no need for struggle, no need for tears

No need for irrational fears

No need to worry about what’s coming round...

In Mercy Town

I’m going down to Mercy Town

Where music is the only sound

I’m going where the dogs run free

And time stands still and waits for you and me, oh yeah

And there’s no need for hunger, no need for pills

No injustice and no ill will

No need to worry about what’s coming down...

In Mercy Town

I’m going down to Mercy Town

Bought my ticket, that’s where I’m bound, Mercy Town

I’m going where the flowers bloom

And peoples’ spirits soar up to the moon

And there’s no need for stealing from the poor

No need for greed, cheating or senseless war

No need to worry ‘bout what going down…

In Mercy Town

I’m going down to Mercy Town

Going to take a stroll around, lie down on the ground in Mercy Town

I’m going where the sun shines bright

And everybody’s soul is filled with light, oh yeah
