Mercy of ignorance

So it has come to this
You scurry under our feet
A second peace is bliss
Amidst refuse you must eat

(Living and dying)
Without remembrance
(Living and dying)
At the mercy of ignorance

So you have become the neglected
By the system rejected
Happy if we don't see you
Denial thy name is hero

(Living and dying)
Without remembrance
(Living and dying)
At the mercy of ignorance

On hands and knees
A broken song, a broken dance
Your life is dust at the mercy of ignorance

Nothing to soothe your pain
Drugs to numb your brain
A hole in your arm and a hole in your heart
A losing game from the very start

(Living and dying)
Without remembrance
(Living and dying)
At the mercy of ignorance

On hands and knees
A broken song, a broken dance
Your life is dust

On hands and knees
A broken song, a broken dance
Your life is dust at the mercy of ignorance
