"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?"

Lyrics:
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, 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, west, south and east
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas
Oh, Fish full of mercury
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain′t what they used to be
No, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
What about this over-crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
I want you
And I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too (want me too)
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
Oh, I'll give you all the love
You want to return sweet darlin′
Your happiness is all I crave
Ooh, it′s too bad - it's just too sad
You don′t want me now
But I'm gonna change
Your mind someway, somehow, baby
I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
I want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you, ooh
A one way love is just the fantasy
Oh, sugar
To share is precious pure and fair, ooh
Don′t play with something
You should cherish for your life, baby
Don't you want to care?
Lonely
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
I′m there
I want you
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
That blows from the north, west, south and east
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
What about this over-crowded land
I want you (I want you)
The right way (I want you)
I want you
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you, ooh
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Songwriter: Marvin Gaye
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you, ooh
Aah

Marvin Gaye ~ Mercy Mercy Me
Here we have something for you folks, we hope
You enjoy it as we enter our social section, thank you
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
~ ♫♪♫♪♫ ~

mercy killed john cleanly. he did not die in pain, she did not disrespect his body; she killed him quickly and efficiently and that was it. john killed her brutally!! he mutilated her and covered someone else with her gore and only then killed her with a tap to the back of the head. he ripped a dead woman’s cloak from her body and touched her corpse with his bare foot to prove a point!!
all this to say: necromancy is disrespect for the dead under the guise of reverence, and john isn’t even bullshitting respect for the dead anymore in Thee most obvious way. god’s mercy is finite and he has none left; i suspect that his “i’m just a little guy :)” act is at its end and we are about to see more of the man who claims that guys like him don’t make mistakes.
