THROUGHT THESE EYES

I guess the best way to start this story is with the first line of Smokey Bill Robinson song ,SADNESS


Sadness has been close as my next of kin.
That is about the way the world appears to be today. And as the Tempting Temptations would say.
IT'S A BALL OF CONFUSION
( THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD IS TODAY)

People moving in, people moving out. Why because of the color of the 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 away. Well, the only people talking about love thy brother is the....(preacher.) And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the ...... (teacher.)
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humilition, obligation to our nation.
It's a Ball of Confusion. Oh yeah,that's what the world is today. hey, hey.

The sale of pill is at an all time high.
Young folks walking round with their head in the sky.
The cities ablaze in the summer time.
And oh, and the beat goes on.

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up to soon.
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.

And the band played on.
So, around and around we go.
Where the world's headed, nobody knows.
Can't you hear the( tempts) talking to you.
Ball of Cofusion
That's what the world is today.

Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas. (Today it's Rap music)
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, population out of hand (300,000,000,000,000),suicide, too many bills,
Hippies moving to the hill.(You had The Beverly Hillbillies) People all over the world are shouting, 'END THE WAR'.
