Oh, mercy mercy me

MM, 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

MM, 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, oh

Ooh, mercy mercy me

MM, things ain't what they used to be, no, no

Radiation underground 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 she stand?

Oh, mercy mercy mercy mercy mercy (Mercy)

Have mercy mercy mercy mercy (Mercy)

What about this overcrowded land?

How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Ooh, oh, oh, mercy mercy me

Take care of one another

Mercy mercy me

Mercy mercy me

Oh, please have mercy on our planet

Please have mercy on my sister

Please have mercy on my father

Mother, brother and us all, ooh
