everybody's crying mercy

Lyrics

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, a bad enough situation, is sure enough getting worse, everybody's crying justice, just as long as there's business first, toe to toe, touch and go, give a cheer, get your souvenier, 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 kid, choose your hypocrite, 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, when they don't know the meaning of the word, nobody knows the meaning of the word, nobody knows the meaning of the word
