Old Mercy Lyrics - Seventh Day Slumber

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 

(Chorus) 

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 

(Chorus 3x)
