The Mercy Killings Lyrics - Contents Under Pressure - Pro-pain

The people shouted no justice and no peace 

It's getting pretty wicked and wild in the streets 

We're frightened of the gunshots in the park 

Praying that our kids come home before dark 

Screaming sirens cuss the air 

They're killing our kids and they don't care 

It makes you wanna hang your head and cry 

It makes you feel powerless inside 

Took the tech 9 

To the head 

It was a mercy kill 

And there were five found dead 

Violence nine to five 

I can't really say that it's great to be alive 

I'm talking about the bloodshed overflow 

It's moving too fast for the folks below 

When reality rears it's head 

Hope is lost as tears are shed 

We fall prey to violence crime 

Been sittin' ducks for all our lives
