Testo Mercy Me

From Tribute Album "Marvin is 60!"

Written by Marvin Gaye



Woo 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 ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury



Ah oh mercy, mercy me

Oh 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



Oh 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?

Oh, na na...
