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
