| Oh, mercy mercy me
|
| Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
|
| No, no
|
| Where did all the blue sky go?
|
| Poison is the wind that blows
|
| From the north, east, south, and sea
|
| 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
|
| Oh, mercy mercy me
|
| Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
|
| No, no
|
| Radiation in the 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 man can you stand?
|
| My sweet Lord
|
| My sweet Lord
|
| My sweet Lord |
