Old Mercy

This is what you're preachin'

What you're teachin' them

I don't want any part of it

I see something wrong

With holding rocks in your hands

So many splinters in your eyes

You can't even see the man that

You blame your pain within

It's unbelievable to me how you

Can see all that's wrong with another

And still be blind

The sin you make excuses for

Do this and don't do that 'cause it's wrong

But you've been sittin' here gossiping all day long

And that's okay

Why?

Why's it gotta be this way?

Why?

Why must we play these games?

Let the freedom bell ring

Whatever happened to old mercy?

I heard it read from a book that's been around a few years

If you ain't got no sin, go ahead, start through stones

But I'm anxious to see how many people just like me

Would have to put your big rocks down

Put 'em down, down
