Lyrics

You might be walking through the slush in the street
You might see something like a bum getting beat
You can't say nothing unless you do something
You can't put a man down for not doing what you wouldn't do
Oh it's true
And you hear a cry, a cry for mercy
Nobody listens and everybody hears
You cry, cry for mercy
If you speak your mind you better back it up
Back it up
Now every day you gotta look away
Close your eyes, you got nothing to see
Mind your business and you'll be safe
Ignore a cry for help in your own stairway
Try and get some sleep, you might not wake
You take something, you shiver and shake
And you break, oh you break
It's from a cry, a cry for mercy
Nobody listens and everybody hears
You cry, cry for mercy
If you speak your mind you better back it up
Back it up
Back it up
And hit it
Now there are cowards and there are fools
And in between well there's people like me and you
And if you're pushed hard enough
You jump off a bridge or you just get tough
And you fight them off, you fight them off
And then they'll cry, it'll cry for mercy
And you hold your soul and you let them go
Sometimes they'll cry, yeah cry for mercy
Well it makes you better and you hit a little harder
Cry for mercy
Nobody listens and everybody hears
You cry, cry for mercy
If you speak your mind you better back it up
Back it up
Back it up
And cry for mercy
Back it up
Now hit it
