Icehouse - Mercy On The Boy

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
