[Intro]

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

People moving out, people moving in

Why? Because the color of their skin

(Run, run, run)

But you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

"Vote for me and I'll set ya 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

(But the teacher)

Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration

Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation

[Chorus]

Ball of confusion

Uh, yeah, that's what the world is today

Hey hey

The sale of pills are at an all time high

Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky

Cities ablaze in the summer time

Oh, the beat goes on

[Verse 2]

Evolution, revolution

Gun control, sound of soul

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

Politicians say more taxes will solve everything

(And the band played on)

[Bridge]

Round and round and round we go

Where the world's headed, nobody knows

Oh, great googamooga, can't ya hear me talkin' to ya?

[Chorus]

Just a ball of confusion

Oh, yeah, that's what the world is today, hey

[Verse 2]

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)

[Verse 3]

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"

(Shouting "End the war", shouting "End the war")

[Outro]

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today, hey

Let me hear you, let me hear you say

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today, hey

Let me hear you, let me hear you

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today

Let me hear you, let me hear you

Let me tell you now

Let me hear you, let me hear you say

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today

I read it in the Bible
