Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)

Whoa, ah, mercy, mercy me

Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

Mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no

Oil wasted on the ocean and upon the sea, fish full of mercury

Oh, oh, ah, mercy, mercy me

Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds that live nearby are dyin'

Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me

Ah, things ain't what they used to be

Ah, what about the overcrowded land

How much more abuse of a man can she stand?

Oh, yeah

Oh, na

Oh, oh, my sweet

No, no, yeah

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh

Mercy, mercy (mercy)

The rivers of blood flowin' down the street (Lord have mercy)

From the sisters and brothers, black and brown, woo

Where's your mercy? Your compassion? (Compassion)

Your forgiveness? Ain't no future without forgiveness

Mercy, your compassion (oh, oh)

Your forgiveness (stop the fightin')

Ain't no future without forgiveness

Mercy, your compassion, your forgiveness

Ain't no future without forgiveness (yeah, yeah)

Mercy, your compassion, your forgiveness (yeah, no, no, no, no, no)

Ain't no future without forgiveness

Mercy, your compassion (mercy me), your forgiveness (have mercy, mercy me)

Ain't no future without forgiveness

Mercy (ooh), your compassion (have mercy, mercy me), your forgiveness

Ain't no future without forgiveness
