Ball of Confusion

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] People moving out, people moving in Why? Because the color of their skin (Run, run, run) But you sure can't hide An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth "Vote for me and I'll set ya free!" Rap on, brother, rap on Well, the only person talkin' 'bout love thy brother is the preacher And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher (But the teacher) Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation [Chorus] Ball of confusion Uh, yeah, that's what the world is today Hey hey The sale of pills are at an all time high Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky Cities ablaze in the summer time Oh, the beat goes on [Verse 2] 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) [Bridge] Round and round and round we go Where the world's headed, nobody knows Oh, great googamooga, can't ya hear me talkin' to ya? [Chorus] Just a ball of confusion Oh, yeah, that's what the world is today, hey [Verse 2] 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 the Indian reservation (And the band played on) [Verse 3] Eve of destruction Tax deduction City inspectors Bill collectors Mod clothes in demand Population out of hand Suicide, too many bills Hippies movin' to the hills People all over the world are shouting "End the war" (Shouting "End the war", shouting "End the war") [Outro] Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey Let me hear you, let me hear you say Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey Let me hear you, let me hear you Ball of confusion That's what the world is today Let me hear you, let me hear you Let me tell you now Let me hear you, let me hear you say Ball of confusion That's what the world is today I read it in the Bible
