[Verse 1]
Woah, oh mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be
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
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

[Verse 3]
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Radiation in the ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

[Verse 4]
Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
What about this ovеrcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can shе stand?

[Verse 5]
Woah
Oh mercy, mercy me
[Verse 6]
Oh mercy, mercy me
Where did all the blue skies go?

[Outro]
Oh
Oh mercy, mercy me
