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
