World Without Mercy by Violent Femmes Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1986

When your words have no meaning
And you're known as no one
Am I someone to you
Someone to turn to
Even when others turn away?
Even though others turn away?

When history blurs
And every man, women, and child
Are left outside with no phones to be dialed
You can't call me, I can't you
You can't call me, I can't you

In a world without mercy
People dine outside your door
In a world without mercy
You don't have to lie anymore
You don't have to cry anymore

When laughter loses all its humor
And the joke is on you
Don't take it so personal
All this world reversal
The things they said don't matter anyway
The things they said don't matter anyway
In a world without mercy
People dine outside your door
In a world without mercy
You don't have to lie anymore
You don't have to cry anymore

Oh, can it be so painful?
Can it be so blind?
Love is vicious angel
Fluttering wings, trapped inside your mind

When your words have no meaning
And you're known as no one
Am I someone to you
Someone to turn to
Even when others turn away?
