Point your finger at the bastard son
   Feed my fire ‘til I come undone
   Broke my body, but you made me whole
   Buried the child, but not my soul
  
   Starved me so I ate your lies
   Stuck your needles in my eyes
  
   Chorus:
   Mother Mercy, my faith in you is gone
   Mother Mercy, I’m dying in your arms
  
   I don’t see the world like you
   Taught to speak when I was spoken to
   Kicked the chair out from under me
   ‘Till this day my wounds still bleed
  
   Save your pity, save yourself
   Make your peace with someone else
  
   (Chorus)
   Mother Mercy, look unto your son
   Mother Mercy, see what you have done
  
   (Chorus)
   See what I’ve become
