Everybody`s Cryin Mercy — текст песни (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
