Ball Of Confusion (Thats What The World Is Today)

One two
One two three four, oh
People movin out, people movin in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure cant hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and Ill set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
Well, the only person talkin bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobodys interested in learnin but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, thats what the world is today, hey , hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walkin round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze in the summer time
And oh, the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shootin 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 worlds headed, nobody knows
Oh, great Googa Mooga
Cant you hear me talkin to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, thats what the world is today, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new records 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 movingto the hills
People all over the world are shouting, 'End the war'
And the band played on
Great Googa Mooga
Cant you hear me talkin to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey hey
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you
Sayin ball of confusion
Thats what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Sayin ball of confusion
