Lyrics

Ball of confusion, ball of confusion Ball of confusion, ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey People moving out, people moving in Why? Because of the colour of their skin Run, run, run, but you just can't hide An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Vote for me, and I'll set you free Rap on, rap on, brother, rap on Well, the only person talking about love today is the preacher And it seems nobody gets you started learning but the teacher Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration Aggravation, humiliation, devastation of our nation Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey The sale of pill's at an all-time high Who put the fillin' in pie in the sky? The cities aflame in the summer time And the beat goes on And the beat goes on And the beat goes on And the beat goes on Economics, Reaganomics, birth control, the status quo Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon The politicians say And the band plays on So, 'round and around and around we go Where the world's headed, nobody knows Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Hey, hey Fear in the air, tension everywhere Unemployment rising fast Rockets' new record's a gas And the band played on And the band played on And the band played on And the band played Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors Solid gold in demand, population out of hand, suicide Too many beers, everyone movin' to the hills People all over the world are dying in the war Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Hey, hey Hey And the band played on And the band played on And the band played on And the band played Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey (Hey!) Ball of confusion That's what the world is today, hey, hey Ball of confusion (Ball of confusion) That's what the world is today, hey, hey (Hey!) Ball of confusion (Ball of confusion) That's what the world is today, hey, hey
