Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology) Lyrics By Marvin Gaye

    mercy mercy me
    things ain’t what they used to be no no
    where did all the blue skies go
    poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

    mercy mercy me
    things ain’t what they used to be no no
    oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
    fish full of mercury

    mercy mercy me
    things ain’t what they used to be no no
    radiation under ground and in the sky
    animals and birds who live nearby are dying

    4
    mercy mercy me
    things ain’t what they used to be
    what about this overcrowded land
    how much more abuse from man can she stand
