Legend In My Living Room

Lyrics

When I was just seventeen
 I ran away from home
 To be with all the pretty people
 To be on my own, yeah
 Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
 And pavements paved with gold
 And I believed in everything
 That everybody told me...
 Have mercy
 Have mercy on me
 I found myself in a lonely place
 With a suitcase full of dreams
 And I soon grew up to realize
 What living in the doghouse means, ooh
 But everyday I told myself
 Good things would happen soon
 'Cause I knew that I was going to be
 A legend in my living room, yeah
 Have mercy (common on sister, sing)
 Have mercy on me
 Have mercy (common on brother, sing)
 Have mercy on me
 Have mercy (common on mother, sing)
 Have mercy on me
 Have mercy (common on father, sing)
 Have mercy on me
 (Welcome to this perfect world)
 Now everyday, on a dead-end street
 Is where I spend my time
 The dust has been collecting
 On the corners of my mind
 But I shed my tears in bitter drops
 Until the thorn trees bloomed
 To take the spiky fruit
 To crown myself the queen of doom, yeah
 Have mercy (common people sing)
 Have mercy on me (mercy on the children)
 Have mercy (common people sing)
 Have mercy on me (I need to hear you sing)
 Have mercy (oh they got it girls)
 Have mercy on me
 Have mercy (sing it for yourself)
 Have mercy on me
