My Girl: The Very Best Of The Temptations
 
1, 2...1, 2, 3, 4, Ow!
 
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 our nation.
 
Ball of confusion.
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.
Woo, hey, hey.
 
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, nobody knows.
 
Oh, great googa-looga, 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-looga, can't you hear me talking to you.
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.
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.
