 Well you praise  him
 Then you thank  him
 Till you reach  the by - and  - by
 And I've won hundreds  at the track
 But I'm not betting  on the afterlife
 Then you kiss  his lips
 He forgives  you for it
 He forgives  you for all you've done
 But not me
 I'm still an....gry
 What have I done?
 Why am I always missing...
 The big guns?
First  I'll build a sword
 Get some words  to explain
 It's a plan,  brother, at least
 And I'll pretend  that everybody  here wants peace
 Have mercy,
 Have mercy,
 Have mercy on me
 Cause we're tired  and lonely and  we're bloody
 What have we done?
 Why are we still running
 From our own failing  bodies?
 The big guns,
 The big guns.
 Sing mercy,
 Sing mercy,
 Sing mercy on me
 Let's pretend  that everybody  here wants peace
 What have we done?
 Why are we still chasing  our own tails and runnin'
 From the big guns,
 The big guns,
 The big guns.
