Sleater-Kinney
Bring Mercy
[Verse 1]
How do we face our moment?
One that slaps across the cheek
How did we lose our city?
Rifles running through our streets
Dirty with an illness
Dirty from our deeds
Lost in isolation
Dirty as we play for keeps

[Chorus]
Bring mercy, bring love
No need to attend the people we were before
Bring mercy, bring love
Pack your bags with things to lift you up
Bring feeling, bring your heart
Hear the whisper when you go

[Verse 2]
How do we live divided?
Modern enemies
How do you put out fires?
When they're burning up your sleeve
Dirty with an illness
Dirty from our deeds
Dirty without houses
Dirty on a onе-way street
[Chorus]
Bring mercy, bring love
No need to attend thе people we were before
Bring mercy, bring love
Pack your bags with things to lift you up
Got nothing without hope
Keep vision alive with the heroes you know
Bring feeling, bring your heart
Hear the whisper when you go

[Bridge]
You wanna prove I'm wrong
You wanna prove you're right
You wanna tell your story 'round the campfire light
But when tomorrow comes and I'm still next door
How you gonna go about your day once more?

[Chorus]
Bring mercy, bring love
No need to attend the people we were before
Bring mercy, bring love
Pack your bags with things to lift you up
Got nothing without hope
Keep vision alive with the heroes you know
Bring feeling, bring your heart
Hear the whisper when you go
