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 West south and east Oh mercy mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be No no oil wasted on the oceans And our seas fish full of mercury 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 near by are dying Oh mercy mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be what about this over-crowded land How much more abuse from man can she stand Oh My sweet Lord no no no na na Oh mercy mercy me Oh yeah oh mercy
