Everybody’s Crying Mercy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe the things I've seen
I wonder 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

[Verse 2]
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as long as there's business first

[Bridge 1]
Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer, get your souvenir

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge 2]
Straight ahead, knock 'em dead
Pack your kid, choose your hypocrite

[Verse 4]
Well, you don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something played absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
