"Error Of Our Ways" lyrics
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-doo-wah
(Shooby-doo-doo-doo)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby
(Ah yeah, oh, oh)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-doo-wah
(Shooby-dooby-dooby)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby
Listen
Somethin's goin' wrong
Is it in the homes?
Kids killing kids
Ain't nothing safe
They take guns to school
And break all the rules
It's a shame the way that we're living, ah yeah
They're fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Somalia
From free loving days
And now there is AIDS
Our values have changed
People acting strange
You have to watch your back
Babies born on crack, oh
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
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 sword
That needs killing, that's for sure
Great forests 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
Be careful of the colors that you wear
The police are under fire (Oh, yes they are)
Beware where you drive (Or you might get jacked)
We gotta make a stand
'Cause things are out of hand
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
Something's got to change
Let us pray
(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, oh yeah
(Why) Oh it's up to you and me, oh oh
They're fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Somalia
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
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
Something's got to change
Let us pray
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
Something's got to change
Let us pray
(Shooby-doo-doo-doo)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby
(Ah yeah, oh, oh)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-doo-wah
(Shooby-dooby-dooby)
Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby
