Woah, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be, no, no
Where did all those blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and southeast
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Woah, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, woah, mercy, mercy, me, ohh
Oh my Lord, my God (No-no)
Oh-woah, woah (Ooh)
Ohh-oh, woah, 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
