[Verse 1]
Woah, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all those blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and southeast

[Verse 2]
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

[Verse 3]
Woah, oh, 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

[Verse 4]
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?

[Bridge]
Oh, woah, mercy, mercy, me, ohh
Oh my Lord, my God (No-no)
Oh-woah, woah (Ooh)
