The Ballad Of The Little Man Lyrics - Singles - World Party

We're all at the mercy 

Of the 7 deadly sins 

We're all at the mercy 

Of the elements in this world we're in 

We're all at the mercy 

Of each other's little whims 

And we're all at the mercy 

Of the little man within 

Show no mercy, no more mercy 

For this little man within 

We're all at the mercy 

Of the little man within 

Hey mister how did you fit 

Into the same shoes as him? 

No more mercy, mo more mercy 

Show no mercy, no more mercy 

For the little man within 

He tears up all the countryside 

Stops when he should begin 

He drowns when he tries to walk on water 

But he never learns to swim 

He's an animal but he thinks he's God 

Gets him mixed up with him 

And we're all at the mercy 

Of this little man within 

He was doing fine in 39 

Thank God he did not win 

He kept playing on his fiddle 

As he watched old Rome cave in 

He sold love away from his children's hearts 

And told them it was sin 

Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy 

Of that little man within 

Now he's sitting in the gardens 

As the acid rain comes in 

He got it covered full of rhino heads 

And boots of leopard skin 

He got the means, he make the harvest high 

But you can count those hungry people die 

We're all at the mercy 

Of the greedy man within 

So if you're feeling lonely, baby 

If you're feeling blue 

If you listen to your little friend 

You know he'll tell you what to do 

But if you hear his words and you get confused 

Start believing they're all true 

Then you have just been fooled again 

Who said we won't get fooled again? 

By the little man within 

He might recognize the great one 

He might understand what's good 

But he believes that he can never live 

The way they say he should 

So he puts them in the asylum 

And he just throws away the key 

He keeps the deep freeze inside you 

He keeps the deep freeze inside you 

And he puts the light in me 

So show no mercy, no more mercy 

For the little man within 

We're all at the mercy 

Of this little man within 

Hey sister, how did fit 

Into the same shoes as him? 

Show no mercy, show no mercy 

Show no more mercy, no more mercy 

For the little man within 

Gonna kill, kill the little man within 

Gonna kill, kill the little man within 

Gonna kill the little man within 

We've got to kill, kill the little man within, kill 

Gonna kill the little man within
