Song information

Title: Everybody's Cryin Mercy
Artist: Bonnie Raitt
Album: Takin' My Time

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
