Ball Of Confusion Lyrics The Temptations
This
song is as relevant today as it was over 40 years ago when it first
appeared on the charts for the Temptations. This world is truly a Ball
Of Confusion!
People movin' out People movin' in Why, because of the color of their skin Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide,An eye for an eye,A tooth for a tooth,Vote for me, and I'll set you free,Rap on brother, rap on,
Well, the only person talkin''Bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems,Nobody is interested in learnin',But the teacher.
Segregation, determination, demonstration,Integration, aggravation,Humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of Confusion,That's what the world is today.
The sale of pills are at an all time high,Young folks walk around with Their heads in the sky,Cities aflame in the summer time
And, the beat goes on,Air pollution, revolution, gun control,Sound of soul,Shootin' rockets to the moon,Kids growin' up too soon,Politicians say more taxes will Solve everything,
And the band played on
So round 'n' round 'n' round we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows Just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that's what the wold is today.
Fear in the air, tension everywhere,Unemployment rising fast, The Beatles' new record's a gas And the only safe place to live is On an indian reservation,
And the band played on,
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,Population out of hand,Suicide, too many bills, hippies movin' To the hills
People all over the world, are shoutin
'End the war
And the band played on.
