| People movin' out
|
| People movin' in Why, because of the color of their skin
|
| Run, run, run, but you sho' 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 talkin'
|
| 'Bout love thy brother is the preacher
|
| And it seems,
|
| Nobody is interested in learnin'
|
| But the teacher
|
| Segregation, determination, demonstration,
|
| Integration, aggravation,
|
| Humiliation, obligation to our nation
|
| Ball of Confusion
|
| That’s what the world is today
|
| The sale of pills are at an all time high
|
| Young folks walk around with
|
| Their heads in the sky
|
| Cities aflame in the summer time
|
| And, the beat goes on Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
|
| Sound of soul
|
| Shootin' rockets to the moon
|
| Kids growin' up too soon
|
| Politicians say more taxes will
|
| Solve everything
|
| And the band played on So round 'n' round 'n' round we go Where the world’s headed, nobody knows
|
| Just a Ball of Confusion
|
| Oh yea, that’s what the wold is today
|
| 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 movin'
|
| To the hills
|
| People all over the world, are shoutin'
|
| End the war
|
| And the band played on. |
