Marvin Gaye - Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology) Lyrics






Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah 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
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah 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
Ah 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
Ah 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...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

    Everyday of my life, i listen to Marvin Gaye. This album was way ahead of it's time and still very relevant (lyrics) today, legendary and sadly passed way to soon. There is no doubt that he would've turned out more great music.

    He just nailed it...more so now than ever before.

  25. T.... ....

    THIS IS MUSIC

  26. A.... A....

    *Since this Song Was launched in 1971 Its already 48 years that the Nature asks for Mercy*

    D.... g....

    I was studying  ecology then and we were shown the extrapolation going log  if we didn't just  START to do something.

  31. J.... C....

    Still Jammin to Marvin in Almost 2020!!

  32. R.... L....

    Here we are almost 2020 and issues like global warming and other environmental nk problems are STILL not top priority?

    No one cares UNTIL it affects them personally...

    I cried hearing this song in the 70's, his voice is unique
    this song should be played on the radio everyday. The world

    to do something about it.. RIP my brother

    I am celebrating 33 years of life today. I have two people that I would like to thank for that. My mother for always being there and giving me the gift of life and my wife of 13 years that has been through some kind of hell with me. This song brings tears to my eyes because it always makes me think of them. I love you both.

  88. P.... C....

    Marvin's voice was perfection............when listening to this, I stop, sit down and close my eyes...get lost in the sound

  89. S.... D....

    La bella y significativa canción, que en esencia es el urgente clamor de la naturaleza, ante la desmedida depredación y contaminación que soporta, en nuestro mezquino afán de explotar sus recursos, lo cual puede llevarnos a una pronta extinción, del gran álbum What's going on?, uno de los mejores que sean producido, conceptual y musicalmente. RIP Marvin Gaye; we still love you, your music and its message stay in our hearts.

  90. R.... S....

    Música sensacional!!! Top

  91. c.... p....

    Still listening to My Man MARVIN GAYE. One of the greatest album made of our time.Miss you dearly MARVIN RIP😚😥.

  93. P.... A....

    i have just found out that my long time friend bimbo was very cruely taken away from us far before his time keep singing big man that cuppa will just have to wait a little long RIP
    er

  94. D.... M....

    Oct.10,1970......my beautiful, gentle boyfriend, shipped out to Viet nam. I listened to this song all day, that day. A feeling of Dred hi g over me. 7 months later he was a casualty. Rest on peace my one and only. This song tears me up, but it's our song.

  95. A.... H....

    Nearly 50 years on it is still a heartfelt plea to mankind to get its act together. Berry Gordy the head of Motown did not want the album to be released as it was about war,poverty and famine and thought it would never sell. Eventually Marvin got his way and the whole concept album became one of Motown's best selling albums of all time.

    A.... H....

    Andy Haslam I heard that same true story too I am so very glad that Marvin Gaye got his way I believe that God's hand was on that album & there was nothing Barry could do about it & like you said the What's Going On album became Motown's biggest selling album of all times way to go Motown's Prince 👑 Of Soul 🌟 Marvin Pentz Gaye 😘🎶 🎹 🎷 🎸 November 4, 2019

    A.... H....

    I have it in my huge collection of album, just love it.

    A.... H....

    Read the same thing Gordy felt too real. This song still applies...marvin Gaye ...the best

  96. K.... W....

    Yesssss the world has changed 💗

  97. D.... P....

    Perfeição...seu nome é Marvin Gaye 🎶❤

  98. G.... X....

    A Timeless masterpiece true of any decade but sadly no more than today in 2019....should be re released!!
