Whoa, 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

Whoa 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
Oh, oh, oh mercy, mercy me

Oh things ain′t what they used to be, no no
Radiation underground 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 man can she stand?

Oooh, oooh, oh no no, na, na na, na
My sweet Lord, na, na, na
My, my Lord, my sweet Lord

Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury

Oh things ain't what they used to be, no no

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

How much more abuse from man can she stand?
