Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) The Isley Brothers & Santana

[Verse: Ronald Isley]
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
Ah, 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 dying
Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be
Ah, what about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

[Outro: Ronald Isley]
Oh, yeah
Oh, na, oh, oh, my sweet
No, no, yeah
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Mercy, mercy (Mercy)
The rivers of blood flowing down the street (Lord have mercy)
From the brothers and sisters, 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 fighting)
Ain't no future without forgiveness
Mercy, your compassion, your forgiveness
Ain't no future without forgiveness
Mercy, your compassion, your forgiveness
Ain't no future without forgiveness
Mercy, your compassion, your forgiveness
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
