Whoa, oh mercy mercy me

Things aint what they used to be oh 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

Things aind what they used to be no no

Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas

Fish full of mercury

Oh, mercy mercy me

Oh Things ain't what they used to be oh no

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby all die

Oh mercy mercy me

Things ain't what they used to be

What about this overcrowded land

How much more abuse from man can she stand?
