| Whoa, ah, 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
|
| Oh, 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
|
| Whoa…
|
| Oh, mercy, mercy me
|
| Ah, things ain’t what they used to be, oh…
|
| Radiation under ground 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 one man can you stand?
|
| Oh, no no, no no…
|
| 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 and south and east
|
| Oh, 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
|
| Whoa… no no no |
