Temptations, The - Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today) Lyrics
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
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thine 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
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 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 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...

have a nice day every one
hallo folks what is op duck
I remember this song as a kid and realized its social implications then and it still applies today without missing a lick on our society...."and the band played on"
Politician's say "more taxes will solve everything "
Of course they do-(other people's money)
I wonder if the only person who first heard this on Sister Act 2.
"And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation." Went past heads.
This song is still relevant in 2019.
"I am going to look at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us...All we ever see of stars are their old photographs."
- Dr. Manhatten.
Watchmen

this song 1964, Sonny and Cher 1967
@Teresa Vasey 1970 for the temps on motown with berry
Ball of confusion should be played to all politicians .Nancy first
Tried to wake us up looong ago ..
ball of s#it
Who's watching in 2059?
"..politicians say more taxes, will solve everything!" The DNC's slogan in perpetuity.
1, 2... 1 ,2, 3 ,4 Owh!
And the beat goes on, and I am dancing, and we all live in the matrix...
Liberals keep on the big ball of confusion for their political gain
The world its still in state of mind
Watchmen brought me here
Africa full of fat women and skin and bone children that's what the world is today.
It is not just my Imagination ✌
We love you young kids
Time traveler I totally dig this video man I watch it at least twice a week! Temptations and Motown is like Led Zeppelin to rock
Still rings true in 2019.
amazing tune! Tenison in the air ;)
It's not a ball but I love this song.....Learn the true story of how the Michelson Morley experiment proved we aren't spinning and how Einstein wrote a mathematical equation to "spin" the results....read your bible...It's FLAT.
I remember looking forward to on a Sunday in Chicago and watch the Soul Train I'm a white guy I thought it was great I'm 60 and I still remember all the words

Excellent video.
THE WORLD IS STILL IN A BALL OF CONFUSION!
Cept it's not a ball...
Lived in Detroit in to the 70's this doing was ahead of it's time.
I meant ahead of it's time. The temps were the greatest
I have all their recordings
Timeless commentary on human nature.
We are still that.
The world is still a ball of confusion. Even. More so....
¿Quién está escuchando este gran tema en octubre del 2019?
Man, that is the way it was back then. There were so many things happening at the same time that some people got vertigo. Music was everywhere and there were so many bands making the scene. I lived around Cleveland and just about every band coming out played there. Demonstrations and sit-ins and things like that along with protests. Even though R&R was driving Motown and the Temptations were right there all the way through. A lot of good groups came out of Detroit. White kids liked Motown just as much as black kids. There was a time there around 67 or so where black and white people were starting to come together as one. I felt it.
Orange idiot in the white house....
i dont care who you are black or white this is just GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT...PLAY IT AGAIN,
I was just coming into the world...if I knew then what I know now...that where your treasure be, there be your heart also. And many store up greed, etc.
LYRICS:
People movin' out, people movin' in.
Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run, but you sho' 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 learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, aggravation,
humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today (yeah, yeah)
The sale of pills is at an all time high
young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time, and oh the beat goes on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul,
Shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve ev'rything, and the band played on.
Round and round and around we go, where the world's headed nobody knows.
Great googa mooga, can't you hear me talkin' to you, just a
Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today. (yeah, yeah)
Fear in the air, tension ev'rywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatle's 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 movin' to the hills
People all over the world are shouting end the war and the band played on.
Round and round and around we go, where the world's headed nobody knows.
Great googa mooga, can't you hear me talkin' to you, just a
Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you
Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today
🇺🇸I picture a perfect formation of Huey’s flying through North Vietnam🇺🇸
Still a very timely song.
Im a pink Floyd kind of guy, but this song transcends genre, in my top ten for sure AWESOME
Tropic Thunder !!!

The relevance that this song has, wow.
Understand😃😂🤣🤣🤣
@Sylvia Williams same here!
A great song but the most idiotic slideshow I've ever seen.
2019 the year of mass confusion straight from the White House.
Trump right wingers, ANTIFA, immigration camps, opioid epidemic, impeachment movement, racial issues, this song fits 2019 to a tee.
Like the dems
Love this song. Here's the version I made 4 years ago. I'm amazed that neither of us used the same images in our videos. :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bywt5jOe1GA&t=26s
Ok. ONE image. LOL
Me too.
Literally timeless!
Economy e's conning me
LIKE the world we live in now in 2019...
50 years later
Yes young lady, the 70's were a simpler time no aids no herpes just good times, good weed 4 finger ounces 35 dollars
@James Legett $10 down in Tejas
Rap on brother Rap on 2019. Ball of Confusion.
People moving out people moving in why white people move away because they can afford it black people move because they can afford to stay there any more gentrification at its finest.
Young folks in this generation walking around with there head in the sky right now.
Hope like ****they looking up.
Some preachers not talking about love any more.
Annoying comments, life is a bitch but it don't mean you gotta bitch about it!
Too many people, too many problems
September 2019, I am still confused
Genesis - This is a land of confusion
Temptations - This is a ball of confusion
I'm confused.
A Prophetic song, and it is happening today! September 20th 2019, today the Lawyers of our president trump dumped on this whole planet, saying we all can do whatever the hell we want and none of you can charge me/ us with any of the crimes we are committing, & furthermore, ordered investigations to stop. Walls of Confusion!
