ME THE MERCILESS / King Arthur

Me the merciless, that's the picture that
She and her lawyer are painting for the judge;
Me the inflexible, power mad control freak
Who makes up his mind and then refuses to budge.

When do I get my / say, when do I
Get my say, when do I get my say?
When do I get my / say, when do I
Get my say, when do I get my say?

Me the victim of a vindictive liar who will
Say anything she thinks the court wants to hear;
Me apparently talking just to hear the sound of
My voice, falling on the laws's deaf ear.

So much for having my / say, so much for
Having my say, so / much for having my say...
So much for having my / say, so much for
Having my say, so / much for having my say...
Okay

Me the merciless
Trying to catch a break,
Wond'ring what it's gonna take
To get a fair shake around here.

Me the obvious guilty party, based
Solely on the vicious little lies she's told;
Me the merciless; well, that's how it turns you
When you realize you're all alone out here in the cold.

What do you want me to / say? What do you want
Me to say, what do / you want me to say?
What do you want me to / say? What do you want
Me to say, what do / you want me to say?

Me the Merciless - Boltoph

you might say i'm a little itchy
when it comes to the thought and the feeling of your skin
just thumbing along, trying to find a way to get in
let me in, i've been out here too long

and when your collarbone twists you'll think of his fist
and how you took it all
waving high, a white flag of surrender to me
my one and only

but i don't want to know
what goes on in the back room
that's why it's in back
why it's hidden away from you
never wanna find it
silently attack...
this one's for you

you won't know whats wrong until i take everything i came for
and you're all alone
sitting with your head in your hands and ready to give it all up
well come on now, lets give up a big hand

[chorus]
for me the merciless loser
gonna take us in sideways
into ditches, bottomless
gonna take a little shortcut

you might say
it's been a long day
when it comes to the feeling of your skin
always gotta get in
you always got it going on

i just look the other way and pretend
that nothing's wrong at all

[chorus]
but me the merciless loser
gonna take it all and make it wrong
out of love and out of mind
isn't necessarily out of sight
for me the merciless loser

In the castle's courtyard
our dear king is resting in a flowerbed
and he hardly seems to mind the assassin
and the poison in his head
a coup d'etat
and now i'm shocked to find out
that i'm next in succession to inherit his throne

Merciless me
soverign-to-be
watching the peasants
all lined up to see
sometimes you've gotta be an sob to get ahead
or you'll fall behind

On a pirate ship I am the captain
with a parrot for a hand
Though gold's my only goal
I must confess that when I'm not too drunk to stand
I often find
it's quite sublime introducing
the innocent sailors to the ravenous sharks

Merciless me
scourge of the sea
aquarian master of
all I can see
Sometimes you've gotta be an sob to get ahead
or you'll fall behind

noah mclaughlin

to exorcise the demons i have built
you must be strong
to get rid of the spirits in this bed
a heart of stone

to forget everything i've said
you must give up your throne
to forget everything i've done
and skin it to the bone

to forgive all the pain
you must be merciless me
to wash away the rain
you must be merciless me
