Ball Of Confusion Lyrics

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, demonstration Integration, determination Aggravation, humiliation Obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion That’s what the world is today Hey, hey
The sale of pills is 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 The sound of soul, shooting rockets to the moon Kids growing up too soon Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything" 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, 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 That’s what the world is today Yeah, yeah
Just a ball of confusion, I tell you that’s what the world is today Yeah, yeah Just a ball of confusion, oh
