Everybodys Crying Mercy Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Everybodys 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
