Lyrics Take A Look Around - The Temptations

Feather in your cap if you catch a robber
Dirt in your face if your scheme falls through
Pay close attention to my story
You′ll find every word is true

Junk man standing on the corner
Selling death, no conscience has he
In the name of God, won't somebody stop him?
(Stop him, think about the children)
It′s a matter of life and death, can't you see? (You see)

Ain't no time to stand back and point your finger
(Ain′t no time to point your finger)
We′ve got to face reality (reality)
No, no, no, no
Don't turn your back on this problem, people (no, no, no people)
Too much depends on you and me, ooh

Desperate with no sense of values
Just an evil mind lurking through the night (night)
Because of you, the streets ain′t safe no more for walking ('cause of you)
′Cause you're feeling so up-tight, yeah

Take a look around
Don′t be afraid
Take a look around
(It's tearing another generation down)
Don't be afraid
Take a look around
Don′t be afraid
Take a look around (evil is after you and me)
Don′t be afraid

Take a look around (it's tearing the younger generation down)
Are you afraid?
Take a look around
Don′t be afraid
