EVERYBODY S CRYIN MERCY- Bonnie Raitt
I don t believe the things I m seein
I ve been wonderin 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 soon as there s business first
Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir
Well you know the 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, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite
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
