Artist/Band: World Party
Lyrics for Song: The Ballad Of The Little Man
Lyrics for Album: Private Revolution [2002]



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 little 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 little man within



Hey mister 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 when he should begin

He drowns when he tries to walk on water

But he never learns to swim



He's an animal but he thinks he's God

Gets him mixed up with him

And we're all at the mercy

Of this little man within



He was doing fine in 39

Thank God he did not win

He kept playing on his fiddle

As he watched old Rome cave in



He sold love away from his children's hearts

And told them it was sin

Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy

Of that little man within



Now he's sitting in the gardens

As the acid rain comes in

He got it covered full of rhino heads

And boots of leopard skin



He got the means, he make the harvest high

But you can 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 little friend

You know he'll tell you what to do



But if you hear his words and you get confused

Start believing they're all true

Then you have just been fooled again

Who said we won'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

The way they say he should



So he puts them in the asylum

And he just throws away the key

He keeps the deep freeze inside you

He keeps the deep freeze 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 within



Hey sister, how did fit

Into the same shoes as him?

Show no mercy, show no mercy

Show no more mercy, no more mercy

For the little man within



Gonna kill, kill the little man within

Gonna kill, kill the little man within

Gonna kill the little man within

We've got to kill, kill the little man within, kill

Gonna kill the little man within
