People movin' out, people movin' 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 about love thy brother
Is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested ir 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 - its just a -
Ball of confusion - oh yeah
That's what the world is today- hey hey
The sale of pills is at an all time high
Young fools walkin' round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summertime - and oh
And the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun, control, the sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growin' up to soon
Puliticians say more taxes, will solve everything
(And the band played on)
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Sidewalk in demand, population, out of hand
Suicide, too many bills, guess who's moving to the hills
People all over the world
Shout "and end to war"
(And the band played on)
Aaah, great googa nooga
Can't you hear me talkin' to ya, just a
Ball of confusion - oh yeah
That's what the world is today - its just a -
Ball of confusion - oh yeah
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, its a
Ball of confusion - oh yeah
That's what the world is today - its just a -
Ball of confusion - oh yeah
That's what the world is today- hey hey
