The Ballad of the Little Man Songtext

von World Party

We're all at the mercy of the 7 deadly sins.
We're all at the mercy of the elements in this world we're in.
We're all at the mercy of each other's litle whims.
And we're all at the mercy of the little man within.

Show no mercy. No more mercy
For this little man within.
We're all at the mercy of the litle man within.
Hey Mr. how did you fit into the same shoes as him?
No more mercy, mo more mercy ...
Show no mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within.

He tears up all the countryside.
Stops where he shoudl begin.
He drowns when he tries to walk on water,
But he never learns to swin.
He's an animal, but he thinks he's god
Get's Him mixed up with him.
We're all at the mercy of this little man within.

He was doing fine in 39.
Thank god he did not win.
He can blame it on his fiddle as he watched old Rome cave in.
He sold love awy from his children's hearts, and told them it was isn.
Now we're all at the mercy
We're all at the mercy of the little man within.

Now he's sitting in the gardens as the acid rain comes in.
He's got it covered all with rhino heads and coats of leapord skin.
He got them easy ???
But you count those hungry people die.
We're all at the mercy of the greedy man within.
So if you're feeling lonely, baby,
If you're feeling blue,
If you listen to your litle friend
You know he'll tell you what to do.
If you hear his words and you get confused,
Start believing their all true,
Then you have just been fooled again ...
Who said we wson't get fooled again?
By the little man within.

He might recognize the great one.
He might understand what's good.
But he believes that he can never live they way he said they shoud.
So he puts them in the asylum,
He just throws away the key,
He keep the deep freeze inside you
He keep the deep freze inside you
And he puts the light in me.
So show no mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within.
We're all at the mercy of this little man.
Hey sister, how did you git into the same shoes as him?
Show no mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within.

Kill!
Kill the little man within.
Gonna kill the little man within.
