EVERYBODY CRYIN’ MERCY – Mose Allison (LIVE VERSION 2005)
Mercy is something we could all use a bit more of these days.
Here is Mose’s Live BBC performance in 2005.
MOSE ALLISON is featured this month on our Music VIDEO “Jukebox” at musicians4childrenwithlyme.com where we support Kids with LYME and their families.
All Donations go directly to non-profit foundations and groups helping them, not us.
Thank You, “Mister” Mose… you helped me with your wisdom when I was young, now I want to “Pay It Forward”.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
A bad enough situation
It’s sure enough getting worse
Everybody’s crying justice
Just as long as it’s business first
[Bridge 1]
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenir
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge 2]
Straight ahead
Knock ’em dead
Pack your kit
Choose your hypocrite
