One life but I feel I' losin' control
I'm in a deep six
Down swing bottomless hole

My rope is frayin' away, they carry off my pieces day after day
I sit and watch it fall away
I feel the wheel as it's turnin' within me
I think I'll roll the dice

Why? Won't someone
Why? Show some mercy on me

Long time, I've been down
I can't fall when I'm already on the ground
They talk, why do I care anyway?

I hate to wait but they're comin' to get me
Paranoia is the answer I find
Five chambers outta six that are empty
I think I'll roll the dice

Why? Won't someone
Why? Show some mercy
Why? Won't someone
Why? Show some mercy on me

Well it's my life
But it's your way
Why won't they show a little mercy?

Why? Won't someone
Why? Show some mercy
Why? Won't someone
Why? Show some mercy on me
