Everybody's Cryin' Mercy Lyrics

I don't believe the things I'm seein' I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard Everybody's crying mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word A bad enough situation Is sure enough getting worse Everybody's crying justice Just as soon as there's business first Toe to toe, touch and go Give a cheer and get your own souvenir Well you know the people running round in circles Don't know what they're headed for Everybody's crying peace on earth Just as soon as we win this war Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite You don't have to go to off-Broadway To see something plain absurd Everybody's crying mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word Nobody knows the meaning of the word
