Ball of Confusion
Return Of The Killer A's
(The Temptations)

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
A 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 a preacher
And see, Nobody is interested in learning but the teacher

Segregation
Domination
Demonstration
Integration
Aggrivation
Humiliation
Obligation to our nation

Ball of Confusion, hey...
That's what the world is today, hey...

And an all time high
The old folks walking round with their hands in the sky
City's ablaze in the summer time, ah...aa
And the beat goes on

Evolution
Revolution
Gun Control
The sounds of soul
Children rockets go to moon
Kids growing up to soon

Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on...

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world is heading nobody knows

Bring on the look
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
Bills, no rent or gas

And the only safe place to live
Is on the indianreservation
And the band played on...

Eve of destruction
Tax deduction
City spectors
Bill collectors
Lampals in the man

Population out of hand
Suicide and manifest
Hippies movin to the hills
People all over the world
Shouting in the war
And the band played on...

Bring on the look
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a..

Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey...

Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey...

Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey...

Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey...

Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey...
