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 |
