Lyrics
[Verse 1] I can't believe the things I'm seeing 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 It's sure enough getting worse Everybody's crying justice Just as long as it'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 kit Choose your hypocrite [Verse 4] 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
