No Mercy
Racoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She walks in and says come on let's have it
She brings out the worst you can be
That's a good day for a bad habit
Don't you dare to disagree
(She likes to surf alone)

Cheap bastard thinks he's something groovy
Straight down from church, you wanna bet?
She'll play him like some kinda movie
Then smokes the last of his cigarettes

She's got no mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for the soldiers
And no mercy for no king
No mercy for no king

She picks his heart like it's a pocket
She wears her hair like it's a crown
She sees straight through all his cool poses
And she'll hold the leash, good dog stay down

She's got no mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for the soldiers
And no mercy for the king
No mercy for the king

Ooh, there won't be any mercy
Not unless you've got a diamond ring
Oh no there won't be no excuse me
No mercy for the king of everything

No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the king
No mercy for no soldiers
No mercy for no king
No mercy, ooh, no mercy

No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the soldiers
No mercy for the soldiers




No mercy for no king
No mercy for no king

When she says "let's have it," it is as if she is pushing people to their limits and bringing out the worst in them.


The song also talks about how this woman sees through people's "cool poses" and knows how to manipulate them. Towards the end of the song, she is described as someone who "picks his heart like it's a pocket" and "holds the leash" of those around her. The lyrics suggest that this woman is powerful and intimidating, and those who cross her must be ready to face the consequences.
