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 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 talkin' 'bout love thy brother is the preacher |
|
And it seems nobody's interested in learnin' but the teacher |
|
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration |
|
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation |
|
Ball of confusion |
|
Oh yeah, that's 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 world's headed, nobody knows |
|
Oh, great Googa Mooga |
|
Can't you hear me talkin' to you? |
|
Just a ball of confusion |
|
Oh yeah, 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 |
|
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 moving to the hills |
|
People all over the world are shouting, "End the war" |
|
And the band played on |
|
Great Googa Mooga |
|
Can't you hear me talkin' to you? |
|
Just a ball of confusion |
|
That's what the world is today, hey hey |
|
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you |
|
Sayin' ball of confusion |
|
That's 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 |
