Yeah, everybody says heroin. But "Mercy Seat" can refer to the electric chair, and this makes more sense with these lyrics as a song about death row inmates called "volunteers", many of whom suffer severe mental illness and see execution as a relief to their suffering. Try that and then the heroin version and see what fits better.
