Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complainin'
Girl, ya know there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs is more hot air
Yeah, more hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
[Verse 2]
No more dumb am I
Seen a few people die
Seen a few people livin'
In a way that's givin' off light
I look to my left, I look to my right
I have to admit, it's a terrifyin'
Terrifyin', terrifying sight
[Verse 3]
'Cause even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complainin'
Girl, ya know there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs is more hot air
Yeah, more hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
[Verse 4]
To the office of the government
To whom it may concern
I'm writing to request clemency (Clemency)
For a prisoner who has earned it
To me, he is a butterfly and so must go outdoors
And, yes, there's blood on his hands
But so with mine and yours
For every child of poverty (Every child of poverty)
Who never stood a chance (Who never stood a chance)
For each fool who said, "Go with me"
And each fool who took his hand
For each one with bad counsel
And still they took the stand
For every beat up woman (Every beat up woman)
And every beat down man
[Verse 5]
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, maybe (Have mercy)
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, maybe (Have mercy)
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, maybe (Have mercy)
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, maybe (Have mercy)
[Verse 6]
'Cause even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complainin'
Girl, ya know there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs is more hot air
Yeah, more hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
[Verse 7]
No more dumb am I
Seen a few people die
Seen a few people livin'
In a way that's gettin' off line
I look to my left, I look to my right
I have to admit, it's a terrifyin'
Terrifyin', terrifying sight
