Ball Of Confusion Lyrics - Icon: Temptations - Temptations

One, two 

One, two, three, four 

People moving out, people moving 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 talking about love thy brother is the preacher 

And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher 

Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration 

Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation 

Ball of confusion 

Oh yeah, that's what the world is today 

Woo, hey, hey

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

The sale of pills are at an all time high 

Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky 

The cities ablaze in the summer time 

And oh, the beat goes on 

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul 

Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon 

Politicians say more taxes will solve everything 

And the band played on 

So, round and around and around we go 

Where the world's headed, said nobody knows 

Oh, great Googamooga 

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 

Photos 

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 Googamooga 

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
