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
I want you the right way I want you But I want you to want me too Want you to want me,baby Just like I want you
I give you all the love I want in return sweet darlin' But half a love is all I feel It's too bad, It's just too sad You don't want me now But I'm gonna change your mind Someway, somehow, oh baby
Repeat
This one way love is just a fantasy, oh sugar To share is precious, pure and fair Don't play with something you should cherish for life, oh baby Don't you wanna care Aint it lonely out there
