Error Of Our Ways
(From the 1994 "Emperors of Soul"
Album, lead by Ali Woodson, and the 2000 "Ear-Resistable" Album,
lead by Terry Weeks with Wanda Hutchinson)
Shooby dooby dooby dooby, doo-wah,
Shooby dooby dooby do,
Shooby dooby dooby dooby,
Oh, Shooby dooby dooby dooby, doo-wah (Shooby dooby dooby),
Shooby dooby dooby dooby,
Something's going wrong,
Is it in the home?,
Kids killing kids,
Ain't nothing 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 (in Bosnia/all over),
They're starving in Somalia,
From free loving days,
Now there is AIDS,
Our values have to change,
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 know it's not to 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 ways,
Families accused with child abuse,
You don't know who's telling the truth,
Society's like a sore,
That needs healing that's for sure,
Rainforests are dying,
People standing in welfare lines,
Ecology is unbalanced,
It's a challenge,
A strange situation,
We've lost a whole generation,
The News on the air:
"Beware of the colors you wear"
The police are under fire (Oh yes they are),
Beware when you drive (or you might get jacked),
We make a stand (Yes we do),
Cause thing are out of hand,
The Error of our ways,
Can we correct the mistakes we've made,
I hope it's not to 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 O why?)
Why?, Can't there be any peace?
Tell me why, Can we undo the wrong that we've done?
Why?, Oh it's up to you and me (Why O Why?)
They're fighting wars (in Bosnia/all over),
They're starving in Somalia,
From free loving days,
Now there is AIDS,
Our values have to change,
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 know it's not to 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 know it's not to 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, (End)
