Sleater-kinney - Bring Mercy lyrics

[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 a 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 one-way street [Chorus] Bring mеrcy, bring love No need to attend the pеople 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 a 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 a whisper when you go
