Costello, Elvis - Everybody's Crying Mercy Lyrics
I can't believe the things I've seen
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
Everybody's crying justice
Just as long as there's business first
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenier
People running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on Earth
Straight ahead
Knock em dead
Pack your kid
Choose your hypocrite
Well you don't have to go to off broadway
To see something played absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word

Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for the post.
Great punked-up cover of great jazz song by Mose Allison, especially the guitar by no-waver Marc Ribot.
