Lyrics

Ah, mercy mercy, mercy mercy Ah, mercy mercy Oh, oh mercy, mercy me (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 Oh, mercy, mercy me (mercy, mercy me) Oh things ain't what they used to be Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas Fish full of mercury Oh, mercy, mercy me (mercy, mercy me) Oh 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 Oh things ain't what they used to be What about this overcrowded land? How much more abuse from man can she stand? Oh, Oh, mercy mercy Oh Lord, oh Lord, what do we do? Oh, mercy, mercy me (mercy, mercy me) Oh things ain't what they used to be Where did all the blue skies go? Oh, Oh, mercy mercy, mercy mercy Mercy mercy Mercy mercy, mercy mercy Mercy mercy
