    Ball Of Confusion






    Ball Of Confusion Lyrics
    Artist(Band):The Temptations


    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 world 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.

      I thought this was going to be something about finding the corner in a round room...

        Temptations were the shit. They had a long career, and stayed relevant the whole way, even through style changes. Can't Get Next To You is one of my daughters favorite songs :^)
