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
