People movin' out
People movin' 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
talkin' about love thy brother
is the preacher
And it seems nobody's
interested in learnin'
but the teacher
Segregation determination
demonstration integration
Aggravation humiliation
obligation to my nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah
That's what the world is today
Woo oo hey
The sale of pills are
at an all time high
Young folks walkin' round
with their heads in the sky
The cities a flame in
the summer time
And oh the beat goes on
Evolution 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 and around
and around we go
Where the world's headed
said nobody knows
Oh great Googamooga
Can't you hear
me talkin' to you
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah that's what
the world is today
Woo oo hey
Fear in the air
Tension everywhere
Unemployment risin' fast
the Beatles new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live
is on an lndian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction
Tax deduction
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
Great Googamooga
Can't you hear
me talkin' to you
It's a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
Let me hear ya let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Ball of confusion
Let me hear ya let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya let me hear ya
Ball of confusion
