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 wordA bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business firstToe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenirWell 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 warStraight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocriteYou 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 wordNobody knows the meaning of the word
