Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)

People movin' out people movin' in

Why because of the color of their skin

Run run run but you sho' 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 learning but the teacher

Segregation determination demonstration integration aggravation

Humiliation obligation to our nation

Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today

Yeah yeah

The sale of pills is at an all time high

Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky

Cities aflame in the summer time and oh the beat goes on

Eve of destruction tax deduction

City inspectors bill collectors

Evolution revolution gun control the sound of soul

Shootin' rockets to the moon kids growin' up too soon

Politicians say more taxes will solve ev'rything and the band played on

Round and round and around we go where the world's headed nobody knows

Great googa mooga can't you hear me talkin' to you just a

Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today

Yeah yeah

Fear in the air tension ev'rywhere

Unemployment rising fast the Beatle's 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 movin' to the hills

People all over the world are shouting end the war and the band played on

Round and round and around we go where the world's headed nobody knows

Great googa mooga can't you hear me talkin' to you just a

Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today

Let me hear you let me hear you let me hear you

Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today
