Lyrics

I used to admire most a melody
And what it could do with love and words
And I used to admire most the poet who
With a pen untangled this world in a verse
And I used to admire all I thought was profound
I plagiarized the prophets and the saints
But now, now that I'm older
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
And I waited out my low youth for a fallow spectacle
In lines snaking 'round coliseums
I marched in the drench under fame's soft fist clenched
And I paid all the scalpers just to see 'em
Ah, but now, now that I'm older
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
I admire the pure of heart that will one thing
I admire the steady in their routine
And I admire decision and the mind that endures it
And those who speak though they be shamed
And I admire all the reckless voices for the voiceless
And the man standing in the path of tanks
Ah, but now, now that I'm older
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
Oh, it's mercy that I admire most
Mercy
