[ti:ball of cnfusion-(That's What the World Is Today)]
[ar:The Temptations]
[al:Great Songs and Performances]
[00:00.01] One two
[00:03.50] One two three four, oh
[00:24.90] People movin' out, people movin' in
[00:27.00] Why, because of the color of their skin
[00:30.50] Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
[00:36.50] An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
[00:39.80] Vote for me and I'll set you free
[00:43.10] Rap on brother, rap on
[00:47.50] Well, the only person talkin' 'bout love thy brother is the preacher
[00:53.45] And it seems nobody's interested in learnin' but the teacher
[01:01.50] Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
[01:04.50] Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
[01:07.50] Ball of confusion
[01:10.50] Oh yeah, that's what the world is today, hey, hey
[01:19.50] The sale of pills are at an all time high
[01:22.50] Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
[01:25.50] The cities ablaze in the summer time
[01:28.50] And oh, the beat goes on
[01:37.50] Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
[01:40.50] Shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
[01:43.50] Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
[01:48.50] And the band played on
[01:54.50] So, round and around and around we go
[01:58.50] Where the world's headed, nobody knows
[02:18.80] Oh, great Googa Mooga
[02:20.50] Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
[02:21.50] Just a ball of confusion
[02:26.50] Oh yeah, that's what the world is today, hey
[02:34.50] Fear in the air, tension everywhere
[02:36.90] Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas
[02:40.60] And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
[02:45.50] And the band played on
[02:52.50] Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
[02:55.50] Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide
[03:00.50] Too many bills, Hippies moving to the hills
[03:03.50] People all over the world are shouting, "End the war"
[03:07.50] And the band played on
[03:27.90] Great Googa Mooga
[03:28.80] Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
[03:30.80] Just a ball of confusion
[03:37.50] That's what the world is today, hey hey
[03:40.00] Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you
[03:43.50] Sayin' ball of confusion
[03:48.90] That's what the world is today, hey, hey
[03:51.00] Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear youLet me hear you, let me hear you
[03:55.00] Sayin' ball of confusion
