(Mercy mercy me) (Things ain't what they used to be,no) Where did all the blue skies go Poison is the wind that blows From the north and south and east (Mercy mercy me) (Things ain't what they used to be, no) Oil's wasting on our oceans And upon the sea Fish full,fish full of mercury (Mercy mercy me) Oh things ain't what they used to be Radiation underground and in the sky And a thousand birds that live nearby Are dying (Mercy mercy me) Oh things ain't what they used to be What about this overcrowded land How much more abuse from a man Can it stand (Mercy mercy me) (Mercy mercy me) (Mercy mercy me) <♪> (This is a mercy me) Oh things ain't what they used to be
