Lord Have Mercy lyrics
The sound of money
But I ain't got
A nickel to my name
And everywhere I look
I see temptation
She stands on every corner
And calls my name
Now won't you tell me
If you can
'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancing
While the poor man
Pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Lord, have mercy
On the working man
Uncle Sam's got his hands
In my pockets
And he helps himself
each time he needs a dime
Them politicians
Treat me like a mushroom
'Cause they feed me bull
And keep me in the blind
Now won't you tell me
If you can
'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancing
While the poor man
Pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Lord, have mercy
On the working man
Hey St. Peter
Look down for a minute
And see this little man
About to drown
There's quicksand all around
And man I'm in it
Please help me up Lord
'Cause I'm going down
Now won't you tell me
If you can
'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancing
While the poor man
Pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Lord, have mercy
On the working man
Won't you tell me
If you can
'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the fat man
Busy dancing
While the thin man
Pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Lord, have mercy
On the working man
Please Lord, have mercy
On the working man
Please Lord, have mercy
On the working man
The sound of money
But I ain't got
Part of these releases
