Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) (original Detroit mix, 1971-04-05) Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Woah, ah mercy mercy me
Ah 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


Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah yeah
Ah things ain't what they used to be
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus yeah mercy, mercy me ah
Ah things ain′t what they used to be, oh no

Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey mercy, mercy me oh
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh, na na na
Ohh baby hey ooh
