No Mercy In This Land Lyrics - Ben Harper And Charlie Musselwhite

What would be the first thing 

You'd say to the Lord 

And the last thing you would dream 

If you couldn't dream no more 

Won't you please help me to understand 

Is there no mercy in this land 

No mercy in this land 

Followed the river 'til the river ran dry 

Followed my lover 'til we said goodbye 

Followed you through soldiers who fire on command 

Is there no mercy in this land

These days I speak in whispers 

Travel only to and from 

Come close you'll see the red 

Of a well bitten tongue 

The righteous and the wretched 

The holy and the damned 

Is there no mercy in this land 

No mercy in this land
