Everybody's Cryin Mercy Lyrics - Takin My Time - 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
