999 - Mercy Mercy lyrics

In a dark backroom or a crowded street In private life or public speech Keep everything away from the stifling grip The bureaucratic eye, the red tape brigade It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah Have mercy mercy on me Have mercy mercy on me Never occurred to us that we were doing any wrong Never occurred to us 'cause we were harming anyone On a crowded street or dark backroom In private life or public speech Keep everything away from the stifling grip The bureaucratic eye, the red tape brigade It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah Have mercy mercy on me Have mercy mercy on me Never occurred to 'cause we were harming anyone Never occurred to us that we were doing any wrong Have mercy mercy on me Have mercy mercy on me Mercy mercy mercy on me Have mercy mercy on me Have mercy mercy on me Mercy mercy mercy on me
