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

One, two, three, four

People moving out, people moving 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 talking about 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

Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

Woo, hey, hey

The sale of pills are at an all-time high (shame)

Young folks walking 'round with their heads in the sky (oh, shame)

The city's ablaze in the summer time

Oh, and 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) on and on, and on

On and on

So, 'round and around and around we go

Where the world's headed, nobody knows (nobody knows)

Oh, great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you?

Ball of confusion

Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

Yeah

Let me hear you, let me hear you. let me hear you

Ball of confusion (ball of confusion)

Can't you hear me?

That's what the world is today

Woo, 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 the Indian reservation

(And the band played on)

And I'm talking to you pal, and I'm talking to you pal

And I'm talking to you (hey, hey)

Ball of confusion
