| 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 | |
