People movin out, people movin in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sho cant hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and Ill set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother
Is the preacher
And it seems nobodys interested in learning
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summertime
And oh, and 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
So round and round and round we go
Where the worlds headed, nobody knows?
And the band played on
Oh, Great Googa Mooga
Cant you hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new records 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
Oh, Great Googa Mooga
Cant you hear me talking to you?
Just ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
Ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
Ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
Ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
Ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey
