| People moving out, people moving in
|
| Why, because of the color of their skin
|
| Run, run, but you sure can’t hide
|
| You better!
|
| Shake a hand make ‘em free, hmm
|
| Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher… and me
|
| And it seems nobody’s interested in learning, but the teacher
|
| Talking ‘bout the Golden Rule
|
| Segregation (segregation), determination (determination)
|
| Humiliation (humiliate)
|
| Obligation to our nation
|
| Ball of confusion, ball of confusion, that’s what the world is today
|
| Hey, yeah
|
| The sales of pills are at an all-time high
|
| Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
|
| The cities aflame in the summertime, why?
|
| Cause people want the heat around
|
| And oh!
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| Evolution, revolution
|
| Gun control, talking ‘bout the sound of soul
|
| Shooting rockets to the moon, kid growing up says ohh!
|
| The beat goes on
|
| Childhood in my life wasn’t very pretty
|
| You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city
|
| People moving out, people moving in
|
| The only one talking about love is the preacher |
| Where only the strong survive
|
| It’s a dog eat dog world
|
| Wake up world, wake up world, wake up world, wake up world
|
| Give peace a chance
|
| Are you afraid?
|
| Time is running out
|
| Give peace a chance
|
| Are you afraid?
|
| Time is running out
|
| Ball of confusion, ball of confusion, that is what is world is today
|
| Hey, yeah
|
| Fear in the air and tension everywhere
|
| Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas
|
| People all over the world shouting War! |
| Huh! |
| What is it good for?
|
| Absolutely nothing
|
| Ball of confusion (repeating) |
