Artist/Band: 
Marvin Gaye 
Lyrics for Song: Mercy, Mercy Me 
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits 2004 [2004]
  
               
  10006>Whoa, oh mercy mercy me
  Oh, 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
 
 
  Oh mercy mercy me
  Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
  Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas
  Ah, fish full of mercury
 
 
  Ah-ha, ah mercy mercy me
  Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
  Radiation underground and in the sky
  Animals and birds who live nearby all die
 
 
  Whoa mercy mercy me
  Oh, things ain't what they used to be
  What about this overcrowded land
  How much more abuse from man can she stand?
 
 
  side note: some people think that Robert Palmer wrote this song,
  though it in fact it was Marvin Gaye who wrote it.
