People moving out, 

People moving in 

Why, because of the color of their skin 

Run, run, run but you sho' 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 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, hey 

The sale of pills are at an all time high 

Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky 

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, oh yeah 

That's what the world is today, ooh, yeah yeah 

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 

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 

Hippies moving to the hills 

People all over the world are shouting end the war 

And the band played on 

Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you 

Sayin' ball of confusion, 

That's what the world is today, hey 

Let me hear ya, 

Let me hear ya, 

Let me hear ya, 

Sayin' ball of confusion, 

That's what the world is today, hey 

Let me hear ya, 

Let me hear ya, 

Let me hear ya
