Who really cares?
Who's willing to fight
To save a world that is destined to die?
When I look at the world
It fills me with sorrow
There'll be no today
And no hope for tomorrow
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
ย
Such a sad way to live
But who are we to blame when
We can't stop living?
Live life if you must
But live for the children
Oh, for the children
All for the children
ย
Oh, mercy, mercy me
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
Ooh, mercy, mercy me
Father, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Yeah, fish full of mercury
Oh yeah, yeah
Mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Mercy, mercy, mercy
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, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Things ain't what they used to be
ย
Oh, oh
Things ain't what they used to be
Oh, oh
Mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy
