- Ball Of Confusion Lyrics / with translationsPeople 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, demonstration
Integration, determination
Aggravation, humiliation
Obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
That?s what the world is today
Hey, hey
The sale of pills is 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
The sound of soul, shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything"
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, 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
That?s what the world is today
Yeah, yeah
Just a ball of confusion,
I tell you that?s what the world is today
Yeah, yeah
Just a ball of confusion, oh
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, demonstration
Integration, determination
Aggravation, humiliation
Obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
That?s what the world is today
Hey, hey
The sale of pills is 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
The sound of soul, shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything"
The band played on
So, 'round and around and around we go
Oh, Great Googamooga
Can?t you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
That?s what the world is today
Hey, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast

Yeah, yeah
Just a ball of confusion, oh
