People moving out, people moving in

Why, because of the color of their skin

Run, run, run, but you just cant hide An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

Vote for me and Ill set you free

Rap on, brother, rap on Well, the only person talking about

Loving thy brother is the preacher

And it seems nobodys interested

In learning, but the teacher Segregation, demonstration

Integration, determination

Aggravation, humiliation

Obligation to our nation Ball of confusion

Thats what the world is today

Hey, hey The sale of pills is at an all time high

Young folks walk with their heads in the sky

The cities aflame in the summertime

And, oh, the beat goes on Evolution, revolution, gun control

The sound of soul, shooting rockets to the moon

Kids growing up too soon

Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything"

The band played on So, 'round and around and around we go

Where the worlds headed, nobody knows Oh, Great Googamooga

Cant you hear me talking to you

Just a ball of confusion

Thats what the world is today

Hey, 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

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 Great Googamooga

Cant you hear me talking to you

Just a ball of confusion

Thats what the world is today

Yeah, yeah Just a ball of confusion,

I tell you thats what the world is today

Yeah, yeah

Just a ball of confusion, oh
