Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, where did all the blue skies go?
From the north, west, south and east
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, oil wasted on the oceans
And our seas, fish full of mercury
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live near by are dying
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, what about this over-crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Ooh…
Oh, I'll give you all the love
You want in return, sweet darlin'
But I'm gonna change your mind
Ooh…
A one way love is just fantasy,
Oh, sugar, to share is precious
You should cherish for your life, baby
Lonely? I'm there… I want you!
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, where did all the blue skies go?
From the north, West, south and east
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no, what about this over-crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
