Mercy On The Boy - Icehouse

If I ever get out of here

Well I might just set alight to this town

Swinging out that ball and chain

Gonna, bring these four walls tumbling down

So you take a fool like me

Yeah and throw away the key

Spend my wasted days doing time

Breaking these rocks in my head

But you know you’re better off dead

When the judges bring the hammer down a little

Mercy on the boy

You know it ain’t easy

If I ever get out of here

Gonna be a price to pay for this crime

Well there ain’t no place to hide

And there ain’t no god on your side 'til the kingdom comes

Gonna bend these cold steel bars

Gonna scream it till somebody hears

Ain’t a cage that can keep me inside

Breaking these rocks in my head

But you know you’re better off dead

When the judges bring the hammer down

Just a little

Mercy on the boy

You know it ain’t easy

Mercy on the boy
