Temptations - Ball Of Confusions lyrics

rate me

People moving out, <br />

People moving in, <br />

Why, because of the color of their skin, <br />

Run, run, run, but you just can't hide. <br />

An eye for an eye, <br />

Tooth for a tooth, <br />

Vote for me and I'll set you free, <br />

Rap on, brother, rap on. <br />

Well, the only person talking about loving thy brother is the preacher, <br />

And it seems nobody's interested in learning, but the teacher, <br />

Segregation, demonstration, intergration, determination, aggravation, humiliation, <br />

Obligation to our nation. <br />

Ball of confusion, <br />

That's what the world is today, hey. <br />

The sale of pills is at an all time high, <br />

Young folks walk with their heads in the sky, <br />

The cities aflame in the summertime, <br />

And oh the beat goes on. <br />

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul-shooting rockets to the moon, <br />

Kids growing up too soon, <br />

Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything," <br />

The band played on. <br />

So, round and around and around we go, <br />

Where the world's headed, nobody knows <br />

Oh, Great Googamooga, <br />

Can't you hear me talking to you, <br />

Just a ball of confusion, <br />

That's what the world is today, hey. <br />

Fear in the air, tension everywhere, <br />

Unemployment rising fast, <br />

The Beatles new record's a gas, <br />

And the only safe place to live, <br />

Is on an Indian reservation, <br />

The band played on. <br />

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, <br />

City inspectors, bill collectors, mod clothes in demand, <br />

Population out of hand, suicide, too many bills, <br />

Hippies moving to the hills, <br />

People all over the world are shouting, "End the war!", <br />

And the band played on. <br />

Great Googamooga, <br />

Can't you hear me talking to you, <br />

Just a Ball Of Confusion, -ac
