Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite - No Mercy In This Land Love And Trust

Lyrics

The simplest things
Can be the hardest to do
Can’t find what you’re looking for
Even when it’s looking for you
The judge and the criminal
The sinner and the priest
Got something in common
Bring ‘em all to their knees
Do what you can do what you must
Everybody’s crying about
Some love and trust
I walk the line walk it for us
See me up here trying to find
Some love and trust
Lust ain’t nothing
But stealing from a thief
Storm after storm
Leave you shaking like a leaf
They say broken hearts
Make the world go ‘round
But trading headaches for heartbreaks
Gonna get you down
Give it some time don’t try to rush
When you’re trying to find yourself
Some love and trust
Do all you can might not be enough
When you’re trying to get yourself
Some love and trust
Like a horse in a race
That doesn’t want to run
An executioner who won’t fire his gun
Like a boxer who won’t take a swing
Like a prince
Who don’t want to be a king
Haven’t we suffered
Suffered enough
Now we’re out here fighting about
Some love and trust
Do all you can just hope it’s enough
Everybody’s crying about
Some love and trust
