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
