Temptations - Ball Of Confusion lyrics
rate me1, 2... 1, 2, 3, 4, Ow!<br />
Eddie: People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.<br />
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.<br />
Vote for me and I'll set you free. Rap on, brother, rap on.<br />
Dennis: Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the...(preacher.)<br />
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the...(teacher.)<br />
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.<br />
Ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that's what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.<br />
Paul:<br />
The sale of pills are at an all time high.<br />
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky.<br />
The cities ablaze in the summer time.<br />
And oh, the beat goes on.<br />
Dennis:<br />
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.<br />
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon.<br />
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.<br />
Melvin:<br />
And the band played on.<br />
So, round and around and around we go.<br />
Where the world's headed, nobody knows.<br />
[Instrumental]<br />
Oh, great GoogaMooga, can't you hear me talking to you.<br />
Just a ball of confusion.<br />
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.<br />
Woo, hey, hey.<br />
Eddie:<br />
Fear in the air, tension everywhere.<br />
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas.<br />
Dennis:<br />
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.<br />
Melvin:<br />
And the band played on.<br />
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors,<br />
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills,<br />
Hippies moving to the hills. People all over the world are shouting, 'End the war.'<br />
Melvin:<br />
And the band played on.<br />
[Instrumental]<br />
Great GoogaMooga, can't you hear me talking to you.<br />
Sayin'... ball of confusion.<br />
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.<br />
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.<br />
Sayin'... ball of confusion.<br />
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.<br />
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.<br />
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
