Everybodys Crying Mercy — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

I cant believe the things Ive seen

I wonder bout some things Ive heard

Everybodys crying mercy

When they dont know the meaning of the word



A bad enough situation

Is sure enough getting worse

Everybodys crying justice

Just as long as theres business first

Toe to toe

Touch and go

Give a cheer

Get your souvenier



People running round in circles

Dont know what theyre headed for

Everybodys 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 dont have to go to off broadway

To see something played absurd

Everybodys crying mercy

When they dont know the meaning of the word



Nobody knows the meaning of the word

When they dont know the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word
