Marvin Gaye - "Mercy, Mercy Me"

This song is a reference to social issues including poisoning the earth...

Lyrics:
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
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
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

Herman's Hermits and There's Kind of a Hush:

Lyric "There's kind of a hush all over the world..."


I like the Carpenters' version better.

Lyrics

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can
Hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
