Everybody's Crying Mercy Lyrics

I can't believe the things I'm seeing

I wonder 'bout some things I've heard



Everybody's Crying Mercy

When they don't know the meaning of the word



A bad enough situation

It's sure enough getting worse



Everybody's Crying Justice

Just as long as it's business first



Toe to toe

Touch and go

Give a cheer

Get your souvenir



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

Knock 'em dead

Pack your kit

Choose your hypocrite



Well 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
