Ball of Confusion |
| People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin |
| Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide. |
| An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth |
| Vote for me and I’ll set you free. |
| Rap on, brother, rap on |
| Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the…(preacher.) |
| And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the…(teacher.) |
| Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, |
| humiliation, obligation to our nation |
| Ball of confusion. |
| Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today. |
| Woo, hey, hey |
| The sale of pills are at an all time high |
| Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky |
| The cities ablaze in the summer time |
| And oh, the beat goes on |
| Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul |
| Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon |
| Politicians say more taxes will solve everything |
| And the band played on |
| So, round and around and around we go |
| Where the world’s headed, nobody knows |
| (Instrumental) |
| Oh, great GoogaMooga, can’t you hear me talking to you |
| Just a ball of confusion |
| Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today |
| Woo, hey, hey |
| Fear in the air, tension everywhere |
| Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas |
| And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation |
| And the band played on |
| Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors |
| Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills |
| Hippies moving to the hills. |
| People all over the world are shouting, |
| 'End the war.' |
| And the band played on |
| (Instrumental) |
| Great GoogaMooga, can’t you hear me talking to you |
| Sayin'… ball of confusion |
| That’s what the world is today, hey, hey |
| Sayin'… ball of confusion |
| That’s what the world is today, hey, hey |
| Ball of confusion |
| That’s what the world is today, hey, hey |
| Ball of confusion |
