Текст песни Need You Now - D.J. Hugg

A ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Composed by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
Performed by The Temptations

Released on Gordy
A subsidiary of Motown Records
Back in 1970
Still relevant in present time

Look around
You're not blind
People moving in
Just to move out

These times are crucial, and that's without a doubt
It's hard to survive
Can't hardly catch a break
Nowadays, fake is real and real is fake

We're in the last days
This I can't deny
Trying to make it, barely getting by
Inflation is nothing new on the scene

Trouble is weighed on the scale of a triple beam
Preachers in the pulpit getting their preach on
False prophets on them corners getting their leech on
Drowning deep in unholy water in the pool

Children are praying on their way, bussin' it to school
Air pollution is stinking by the hour
Peace has been replaced by money, greed, and power
These modern day economics keeps me guessing

Still the answer remains to be questions
Lord, we messed up
Though it's time to fess up
We need you now

We need you now
Most of us won't get it
Too ashamed to admit it
We need you now

We need you now
Stray bullets are still flying
Politicians, still lying
Making empty promises to do something

They just talking loud and saying nothing
A convicted felon can't be your president
Intruders on the prowl casing your residence
Situations getting deep just like a flood

Innocent people getting murdered in cold blood
They're separating families in a jet flash
Deportations in effect with no questions asked
Society has no empathy for poor folks

Medicare is getting snatched away from old folks
Equality is just a eight-letter word
Women's rights got kicked straight to the curb
Panic is spreading throughout the universe

Instead of moving forward, we're moving in reverse
Lord, we messed up
Though it's time to fess up
We need you now

We need you now
Most of us won't get it
Too ashamed to admit it
We need you now

We need you now
They're shutting down means of communications
In the midst of perilous situations
Millionaires are spending millions on their big retreats

With no regards for the homeless people in the streets
Child abuse and neglect has gone way too far
Abandoned babies left for dead trapped in a car
It seems like we're in a man-made hell zone

Spam messages appearing on our cell phones
Church folks stopped attending church on Sundays
Rather complain when they return to work on Monday
Unemployed 'cause A.I. is taking over

It's so much weight to carry on our shoulders
We can't rely on police when they call for help
The eager to beat us down to haul us off of jail
Will the hatred end? When will it cease

It's hard to take a stand when you're on your knees
Lord, we messed up
Though it's time to fess up
We need you now

We need you now
Most of us won't get it
Too ashamed to admit it
We need you now

We need you now
We need you now
We need you now
