Artist/Band: Marvin Gaye
Lyrics for Song: Mercy, Mercy Me
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits 2004 [2004]



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.
