I said just a little, a little bit of mercy
Give it just a little mercy, a little mercy
Give it just a little, a little bit of mercy
Give it just a little mercy mercy mercy
Woah, aw, mercy, mercy me
Oh, 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
Woah, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain`t what they used to be
Oil wasted on the oceans and across our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain`t what they used to be
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 over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand
Give it just a little...Give it just a little...
Give it just a little mercy...
Give it just a little...
Give it just a little...(Hello darling)
Give it just a little mercy...(My sweet love...)
Give it just a little mercy...
People we all got to get together
Cos together we have strength and power
Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
The man I just don't understand what's goin' on
Closest friend, oh what's goin' on
What's gotten in my life? What's happenin'?
What's happenin', brother? Oh
Whats happenin'? What's happenin', brother?
