verse 1
mercy mercy me
things aren'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
verse 2
mercy mercy me
things aren't what
they used to be no no
oil wasted on the ocean
and upon our seas
fish full of mercury
verse 3
mercy mercy me
things aren't what
they used to be no no
radiation under ground and in the sky
animals and birds who
live nearby are dying
verse 4
mercy mercy me
things aren't what they used to be
what about this overcrowded land
how much more abuse
from man can she stand
