Lyrics:

If I ever get out of here
Well I might just set alight to this town

Swinging out that ball and chain
Gonna, bring these four walls tumbling down

So you take a fool like me
Yeah and throw away the key
Spend my wasted days doing time

Breaking these rocks in my head
But you know you're better off dead
When the judges bring the hammer down

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

If I ever get out of here
Gonna be a price to pay for this crime

Well there ain't no place to hide
And there ain't no god on your side 'til the kingdom comes

Gonna bend these cold steel bars
Gonna scream it till somebody hears
Ain't no cage that can keep me inside

Breaking these rocks in my head
But you know you're better off dead
When the judges bring the hammer down

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy

A little mercy on the boy

A little mercy on the boy

Hey

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy

Gimme some mercy on the boy

You know it ain't easy

A little mercy on the boy
