Aswad - Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology)

Ooh.. well

Whoa, whoa I.. oh, mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east

Whoa I, oh mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

Oh, oh, I, oh mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Whoa I, oh mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man, can she stand?

Oh, na na, na na, na na

(..)

My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord
