Woo 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
|
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
|
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
|
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
|
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
|
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
|
Radiation under ground and in the sky
|
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
|
Oh 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?
|
Oh, na na...
|
My sweet Lord... No
|
My Lord... My sweet Lord
|
