	        A       F     E7 
I don't believe the things I'm seein' 
              A                  F           E7 
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard 
F                  G#  G 
Everybody's crying mercy 
            Bb              E            A 
When they don't know the meaning of the word 
 
    A       F     E7 
A bad enough situation 
 A         F           E7 
Is sure enough getting worse 
F                  G#  G 
Everybody's crying justice 
      Bb              E            A 
Just as soon as there's business first 
 
 F      E     F        E 
Toe to toe, touch and go 
 F       E                 D 
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir 
 
          A                 F               E7 
Well you know the people running round in circles 
    A                 F               E7    
Don't know what they're headed for 
F                  G#       G
Everybody's crying peace on earth 
     Bb              E            A 
Just as soon as we win this war 
 
 F         E            F       E 
Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead 
  F           E                D 
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite 
 
      A            F          E7 
You don't have to go to off-Broadway 
  A            F          E7 
To see something plain absurd 
F            G#       G
Everybody's crying mercy 
     Bb              E            A 
When they don't know the meaning of the word 
   Bb               E            D 
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
