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      A bad enough situation   It's sure enough getting worse      Everybody's Crying Justice   Just as long as it's business first      Toe to toe   Touch and go   Give a cheer   Get your souvenir      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 kit   Choose your hypocrite      Well 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
