Ball Of Confusion (That’s What The World Is Today) Lyrics By The Temptations

    one two
    one two three four ow

    eddie dennis
    people movin’ out people movin’ in
    why because of the color of their skin
    run run run but you sure 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’s interested in learnin’
    but the teacher

    pre dennis
    segregation determination demonstration integration aggravation humiliation obligation to our nation

    ball of confusion
    oh yeah
    that’s what the world is today
    woo hey hey

    paul dennis melvin
    the sale of pills are at an alltime high
    young folks walkin’ ’round with their heads in the sky
    cities aflame in the summertime
    and oh the beat goes on
    evolution revolution gun control the sound of soul
    shooting rockets to the moon kids growin’ up too soon
    politicians say more taxes will solve everything
    and the band played on

    pre
    so ’round and around and around we go
    where the world’s headed said nobody knows

    oh great googa mooga
    can’t you hear me talking to you
    just a ball of confusion
    oh yeah that’s what the world is today
    woo hey hey

    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 moving to the hills
    people all over the world are shouting end the war
    and the band played on

    great googa mooga
    can’t you hear me talking to you
    it’s a ball of confusion
    that’s what the world is today hey hey
    let me hear ya let me hear ya let me hear ya
    sayin’ ball of confusion
    that’s what the world is today hey hey let me hear ya let me hear ya let me hear ya let me hear ya let me hear ya
    sayin’ ball of confusion
    that’s what the world is today
