Ah.... Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy 
Ah.... Mercy, mercy 
Oh, mercy mercy me 
Oh, things ain't what they used to be 
No, no 
Where did all the blue sky go? 
Poison is the wind that blows 
From the north, and south, and east 
Oh, mercy mercy me 
Oh, things ain't what they used to be 
Oil wasted on the oceans 
and upon our seas 
Fish full of mercury 

Oh, mercy mercy me 
Oh, things ain't what they used to be 
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 you stand? 

Oh Lord! 
Oh Lord! 

Oh, mercy, mercy, mercy 
Oh, things ain't what they used to be 
Where did all the blue sky go? 

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy 
Mercy, mercy 

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy 
Mercy, mercy
