1, 2... 1, 2, 3, 4, Ow!
|
Eddie: 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.
|
Dennis: 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.
|
Paul:
|
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.
|
Dennis:
|
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.
|
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon.
|
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.
|
Melvin:
|
And the band played on.
|
So, round and around and around we go.
|
Where the world's headed, nobody knows.
|
[Instrumental]
|
Oh, great googalooga, 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.
|
Eddie:
|
Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
|
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas.
|
Dennis:
|
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.
|
Melvin:
|
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.'
|
Melvin:
|
And the band played on.
|
[Instrumental]
|
Great googalooga, can't you hear me talking to you.
|
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
|
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.
|
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
|
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
|
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.
|
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
|
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
