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
