Error of Our Ways - The Temptations

Listen

Somethin’s goin wrong

Is it in the homes

Kids killin kids

Ain’t nothing safe

They take guns to school

And break all the rules

It’s a shame the way that we’re livin

They’re fighting in Bosnia

And starving in Sumaria

From free loving days

And now there is AIDS

Our values have changed (Oh, yes they’ve changed)

People acting strange (yeah)

You have to watch your back(ooh)

Babies born on crack, oh

(chorus)

The error of our ways

Can we correct the mistakes we’ve made

I hope it’s not too late

God only knows our fate

The error of our ways

Let’s hope for a better day

Somethin’s got to change

Let us pray

Famlies accused of child abuse

You don’t know who’s tellin the truth

Society is like a sword

That needs killing that’s for sure

Great forest are dying

People standing in Welfare lines

Ecology is unbalanced

It’s a challenge

A strange situation

We lost a whole generation

The news on the air

Beware of the colors that you wear

The police are undefined (oh, yes they are)

Beware when you drive (or you might get jacked)

We gotta make a stand (oh, yes we do)

Cause things are out of hand

(chorus)

(Why) Are there so many guns

(Tell me why) So much death among the young

(Why) Oh tell me why

(Tell me why) It’s not easy for you to see

(Why) Can’t there be any peace

(Tell me why) Can’t we undo all the wrong that we’ve done

(Why) Oh it’s up to you and me

They’re fighting in Bosnia

And starving in Sumaria

From free loving days

And now there is AIDS

Our values have changed (Oh)

People acting strange (yeah)

You have to watch your back (oh, yeah)

Babies born on crack

(chorus)(3x)
