Everybody's Crying Mercy

[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
