MERCY MERCY ME

(THE ECOLOGY)

MARVIN GAYE

“…What about this

overcrowded land,

how much more abuse

from man 

can she stand?…”

Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" asked pertinent questions about how we treated the fragile planet back in 1971. Sadly, his concerns still apply today.

The song was included on Gaye's watershed album 'What's Going On'. He expresses concern about radiation, pollution and oil spills. The lyrics ponder the fate of fish, birds, fauna and the Earth.
