Son Volt - War on Misery lyrics

I've been thinking that it's time to declare
I've been thinking that it's time to declare
From rooftops and alleyways
Declare a war on misery

I've been thinking that it's time to declare
I've been thinking that it's
Plain to see everywhere
From the rooftops and alleyways
There's a war on misery to declare

May we all have mercy
Have mercy on our souls
May we all have mercy
Protection from the undertaker's toll
Did we save those in need from
The danger winds that blow?

Gotta keep on movin'
Can't let the grass grow under your feet
Gotta keep on movin'
Can't let the grass grow under your feet
Been on the wander for new ideas and beliefs

I've been thinking that it's time to declare
I've been thinking that it's time to declare
From rooftops and alleyways
Declare a war on misery
