Error of Our Ways Songtext

von The Temptations

Something's goin' wrong, is it in the home
Kids killing kids, ain't nothin' sacred
They take guns to school and break all the rules
It's a shame the way that we're living

They're fighting wars all over and starving in Somalia
From free lovin' days and now there is A.I.D.S.
Our values have to change, people actin' strange
You have to watch your back, babies born on crack
Oh, what a shame what a shame

1 - 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 errror of our ways
Let's hope for a better day
Something's got to change, let us pray

Error of our
Families accused of child abuse
You don't know who's telling the truth
Society is like a soar that needs healing, for sure
Rain forests are dying, people standing in welfare lines
Ecology is unbalanced, it's a challenge

A strange situation, we've lost a whole generation
News on the air, be careful of the colors that you wear
The police are under fire, beware when you drive
We've got to take a stand, cuz things are out of hand

Repeat 1

We've got to humble ourselves and pray
(Why) Are there so many guns
(Tell me why) So much death amoung the young, hey
(Why) Tell me why
(Tell me why) The prophecy is for you and me to see
(Why) Can there be any peace, oh
(Tell me why) Can we undo the wrong that we've done
(Why) Oh, it's up to you and me, we've gotta be free

They're fighting wars all over and starving in Somalia
From free lovin' days and now there is A.I.D.S.
Our values have to change, people actin' strange
You have to watch your back, cuz babies born on crack

Repeat 1 until fade
