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 |
