| Lyrics: | 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, tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set
you free
Rap on, sisters, rap on
Well, the only person talkin' 'bout love, my 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, yeah)
That's what the world is today
Woo, hey,
hey (let me hear it, let me hear it, let me hear it, say it)
The sale of pills are at an
all time high (say it)
Young folks walking 'round with their heads in the sky (oh, say
it)
The cities ablaze in the summer time!
And oh, the beat goes on
Evolution,
revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too
soon
Gloria (round and around and around we go)
Gloria (where the world's headed nobody
knows)
Alleluia ([Whoopi] Play Alma, go ahead girl)
Oh, great googalooga, can't you
hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is
today
Oi vay
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, hip hop
music's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on the Indian Reservation
And 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
Yuppies moving to the
hills
People all over the world shouting, "End the war!"
And the band played
Ball
of confusion (that's what the world is today)
Ball of confusion |
