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
