Woah, 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
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah yeah
Ah things ain't what they used to be, oh no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Hey mercy, mercy me oh
Ah things ain't what they used to be, oh no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey mercy, mercy me oh
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
This version is very special for in the beginning Marvin sings without any instrument. Only his voice and it is so beautiful!

"The US Postal Service has unveiled that its new stamp will be dedicated to the memory of Marvin Gaye. The limited-edition print will commemorate what would have been the singer’s 80th birthday and features artwork from the famed designer Kadir Nelson. The news was revealed in a special ceremony a few days ago which featured Marvin’s family and friends including Smokey Robinson, Mary Wilson of the Supremes and Motown’s founder Berry Gordy."
