Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eddie Vedder] Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be, oh, no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows From the north and south and east [Verse 2: Julian Casablancas] Well, mercy, mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be, oh, no Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas Fish full of mercury, oh [Verse 3: Eddie Vedder] Oh, mercy, mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no Radiation underground and in the sky Animals and birds who live nearby are dying [Verse 4: all] 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?
