Mercy Mercy Me Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Here we have something for you folks, we hope
You enjoy it as we enter our social section, thank you

Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain′t what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
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
Ah, things ain′t what they used to be (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 (ain′t what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo
