Mercy Mercy Me (the Ecology) Lyrics - What's Going On - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

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 

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 

Ah things ain't what they used to be 

What about this over crowded land 

How much more abuse from man can she stand? 

Oh mercy, mercy me. 

Ah things ain't what they used to be. 

No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky; 

Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh,
