Ball Of Confusion

One, two, one, two, three, four, owPeople moving out, people moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hideAn eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap onWell, 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 nationBall of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, heyThe 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 timeAnd oh, the beat goes onEvolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everythingAnd the band played onSo, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knowsOh, great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, heyFear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gasAnd the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservationAnd the band played onEve 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 warAnd the band played onGreat googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, heyLet 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
