No Mercy
The Living Tombstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the worst team I have ever played with in my life
When we finally get on the point, everyone dies
I understand that every now and then a team won't click
When it comes to you, I don't think I can sympathize

You should've picked Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
You should learn how this game works
You should've been helping

If you like Mercy so much, why don't you just marry her?

So you're the type that gets on mic and tries to lecture me
When you're the most useless person we have on our team
I've never seen anybody rage quite as hard as you
Maybe you should go back to playing Team Fortress 2

I'm not gonna be Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and you got all mad
Your tears are what I live for
You should've been Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for

Maybe I'll be Tracer
I'm already Tracer
What about Widowmaker?
I'm already Widowmaker
I'll be Bastion
Nerf Bastion
You're right, so, Winston
I wanna be Winston
I guess I'll be Genji
I'm already Genji
Then I'll be McCree
I already chose McCree
I have an idea
What's your idea?
You should be
I'm not gonna be Mercy

You should've picked Mercy
I'm not gonna be any kind of support
We ended up losing, and it's all your fault
Your tears are what I live for
I'm not gonna be Mercy
You should've picked any kind of support




We ended up losing, and you got all mad
You should learn how this game works

Overall Meaning

The Living Tombstone's song No Mercy is a humorous take on the frustrations of playing team-based video games, specifically Overwatch. The lyrics are spoken from the perspective of a player who is fed up with their team's poor performance, particularly one player's refusal to choose a support character, like the healer Mercy. This player blames their team's loss on the lack of support and lectures them about how the game is played. The other players sarcastically suggest switching to various heroes, but ultimately the song ends with the perspective of the frustrated player continuing to revel in the tears of the player who refused to choose Mercy.

A song from a time when overwatch was a very pleasant and cozy game. It is a pity that this is no longer the case.

@Beanjello22

This song embodies a silly little mindset that makes the game feel comfortable to me still, but also I’ve practically grown up with overwatch so the game (and this song) will always have a place in my heart lol

@marsfisch44

literally a song about trash talking?
