People moving out,
|
People moving in
|
Why, because of the color of their skin
|
Run, run, run but you sho' can't hide
|
An eye for an eye,tooth for a tooth,
|
Vote for me and I'll set you free
|
Rap on, brother, rap on
|
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, 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
|
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
|
And the band played on
|
So, round and around and around we go
|
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
|
Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
|
Just a ball of confusion, oh yeah
|
That's what the world is today, ooh, yeah yeah
|
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 moving to the hills
|
People all over the world are shouting end the war
|
And the band played on
|
Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
|
Sayin' ball of confusion,
|
That's what the world is today, 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
|
Let me hear ya,
|
Let me hear ya,
|
Let me hear ya
|
...& fade
