mike love (reggae) - temptation lyrics

we’re living in a world of temptation
so don’t give in
don’t let them lead you astray
never let them change you, no way
we’re living in a world of illusion
so don’t give in
don’t let them get to your head
turn you into the walking dead

’cause it’s oppression television from channel one to one thousand
all they need is this one toy to keep you in your la+z+boy
and look how they’re promoting guns and violence
and they’re glorifying gangsters, whenever they get a chance
and they make serial k!llers into movie stars
raise your hand if you don’t have one, in my house i’ve got four
and on the disney channel there’s a shootout, cartoons getting capped now
what are they teaching our children?
and on the shelf in every toy store, it’s army men, guns and swords
there should be an enlistment form included

we’re living in a world of temptation
so don’t give in
don’t let them get to your head
turn you into the walking dead

yeah ’cause this dangerous power of l+st is everywhere, this vanity fair
spun round by crack cocaine and heroin, prescription pills to draw you in
and look they’re teaching our children drug education
they show them what the drugs look like and where they all come from
they even tell them whether to smoke it, inject it or swallow
the only thing that they don’t show them is where the money flow
and on every corner there’s a strip club, hookers getting picked up
p+rnographic peddlers, making a k!lling
any kind of degradation, just for some compensation
anything for a dollar if you’re willing
and you wonder where these perverts come from
and you wonder where these predators, these rapists and these child molesters come from

we’re living in a world full of temptation
but do you have the strength to resist them?
so easy to fall victim to addiction
but so hard to see through the illusion
so run, run, turn your eyes and run
run, run, turn your eyes and run…
oh lord there’s nothing left here for us to hold on to
all that’s left is to start anew
so turn your eyes and run

this whole world is backwards

the corporate farmers take away our food supply and the bankers take away our wealth
education takes our wisdom, doctors take away our health
lawyers corrupt justice, mass media hides the truth, the investigators destroy the proof
record labels corrupt music, fashion destroys our beauty
technology inhibits our natural abilities
politicians take away our freedom, religion destroys spirituality
even a blind man can see
that this whole world is backwards
