Cold War Kids - Lord Have Mercy on Me lyrics

Simon versus the gospel, take four

...

Get'n closer everyday

Getting closer everyday

Lord have mercy on me

talkin' about two different things

television and life magazine

Lord have mercy on me

Whohoo

Lord have mercy on me

Got this idea, in my head, and I can't get it out

cause all your money, and all your culture, I could surely live without

pile the treasures up on earth

and what you keep and what you take

a property, a vanity, even knowledge for knowledge's sake

Lord have mercy on me

talkin' about two different things

television and life magazine

Lord have mercy on me!

OH!

Lord have mercy on me!

Don't wanna see no psychoanalyst

experienced in assisting to adjust

European travel,

the h-bomb,

the presidential elections

front page of the New York times

the front page of the New York times

Lord have mercy on me

talkin' about two different things

television and life magazine

Lord have mercy on me!

OH!

Lord have mercy on me!

Quit your gripping shine your shoes

tell your little secrets for your booze

don't make no difference who's watching from the stands

fat lady always claps her hands

Lord have mercy on me

you say it even if you're robbing from the poor

lord have mercy on me

I believe the words can change the heart

the words can change the heart

the words can change the Heart

have mercy on me

oh Oh! Have mercy on me!

talk'n bout two different things

television, yeah, and life magazine

lord have mercy on me

oh, god! lord have mercy on me

yeah, getting closer every day

getting closer every day!

getting closer, yeah.
