My Whole World Stopped Without You - The Temptations

My Whole World Stopped Without You - The Temptations Lyrics

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
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, intergration
Aggravation, humiliation
Obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey
The sale of pills are
At an all time high
Young folks walking 'round
With their heads in the sky
The cities aflame
In the summertime, 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, around and around
And around we go
Where the world's headed
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, 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
Oh, great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey
