Pull over mister before you hurt someone
Let's see that license, let's not see a gun
And hey you ought to talk nice to me, man
Today's been bloody hell and I've taken all I can
You say you got friends on state and local boards
who'll put me in my place for putting you in yours
Well everyday I walk the line like a target painted blue
Don't think that I won't cross it for a little prick like you
I'm your angel of mercy
or I'm the devil with the blue dress on
Would you like to dance with me
I'll protect and I'll serve
'til nerve and patience desert me
Until then I remain your angel of mercy
You see this scar, '68 DMZ
I nearly died for your sins, my country 'tis of thee
One side's bleeding for the troubles you've seen
The other side don't give a damn and man, it's just plain mean
You see this cross on this silver chain
He made a sacrifice I try to understand
One foot wants to walk His holy path
Mister the other wants to kick your ass
I'm your angel of mercy
or I'm the devil with the blue dress on
You decide who I will be
I'll protect and I'll serve
'til nerve and patience desert me
Until then I remain your angel of mercy
