Lyrics:

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

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

Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh

Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and land how much more abuse from man can she stand?
