Woah, 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 and south and east

Woah, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Oil wasted on the ocean
And upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

Woah, mercy, 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

Woah, 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
