Woah, 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, east, south, and sea
Woah mercy mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas 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, 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, my sweet Lord My my my my sweet Lord My sweet Lord
