๐ Lyrics
People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the colour 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 talking 'bout love thy brothers 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
That's what the world is today
Ooh, hey, hey
Sale of crack is at an all-time high
Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
The cities aflame in the summer time
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
And the band played on
So, around 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
That's what the world is today
Ooh, hey, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, The Temp's new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live
Is on the Indian reservation, yeah
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 shouting "End the war", yeah
And the band played on
Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Ooh, hey, hey
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you say
Ball of confusion (oh, let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you say)
That's what the world is today
Ooh, hey, hey
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you say
Ball of confusion, yeah
That's what the world is today
Ooh, hey, hey
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you say
Ball of confusion, yeah
Why? Because of the colour 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
