Lyrics

Whoa, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, 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
Whoa, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury
Whoa, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Whoa, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
