Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) Lyrics
[00:10.02] Whoa, oh, mercy mercy me
[00:15.62] Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
[00:22.07] Where did all the blue skies go?
[00:25.86] Poison is the wind that blows from the North and South and East
[00:32.04] Whoa mercy, mercy me
[00:37.16] Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
[00:42.71] Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
[00:50.56] Oh, oh, oh mercy, mercy me
[00:57.48] Oh things ain't what they used to be, no no
[01:02.96] Radiation underground and in the sky
[01:08.05] Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
[01:12.74] Oh mercy, mercy me
[01:18.34] Oh things ain't what they used to be
[01:24.40] What about this overcrowded land
[01:28.38] How much more abuse from man can she stand?
[01:32.84] Oooh, oooh, oh no no, na, na na, na
[01:39.69] My sweet Lord, na, na, na
[01:45.63] My, my Lord, my sweet Lord
[01:52.89] Breathe
[01:53.67]
[00:15.62] Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
[00:22.07] Where did all the blue skies go?
[00:25.86] Poison is the wind that blows from the North and South and East
[00:32.04] Whoa mercy, mercy me
[00:37.16] Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no
[00:42.71] Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
[00:50.56] Oh, oh, oh mercy, mercy me
[00:57.48] Oh things ain't what they used to be, no no
[01:02.96] Radiation underground and in the sky
[01:08.05] Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
[01:12.74] Oh mercy, mercy me
[01:18.34] Oh things ain't what they used to be
[01:24.40] What about this overcrowded land
[01:28.38] How much more abuse from man can she stand?
[01:32.84] Oooh, oooh, oh no no, na, na na, na
[01:39.69] My sweet Lord, na, na, na
[01:45.63] My, my Lord, my sweet Lord
[01:52.89] Breathe
[01:53.67]
