歌词
[Verse 1]
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh things ain't what they used to be, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the North and South and East
[Verse 2]
Oh, mercy mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no
Oil wasted on the ocean
And upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
[Verse 3]
Oh, mercy mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby
Are dying
[Verse 4]
Oh, mercy mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be, no
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
[Verse 5]
Mercy mercy me
My sweet Lord
My Lord
[Verse 6]
Who really cares to save the world and our children?
Who really cares to save a world that is destined to die?
