| 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 | |
| People moving out | |
| People moving in | |
| Why, because of the color of their skin | |
| Run, run, run, but you just can't hide | |
| An eye for an eye | |
| Tooth for a tooth | |
| Vote for me and I'll set you free | |
| Rap on, brother, rap on | |
| Well, the only person talking about loving 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 nation | |
| Ball of confusion | |
| That's what the world is today, hey | |
| The sales of pills are at an all time high | |
| Young folks walk with their heads in the sky | |
| The cities aflame in the summertime | |
| And oh 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, round 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, hey | |
| 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 an Indian reservation | |
| 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 are shouting, "End the war!" | |
| And the band played on | |
| Great Googamooga | |
| Can't you hear me talking to you | |
| Just a Ball Of Confusion |
