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, I'll set you free

Rap on brother, rap on

Well the only person talking about love

thy brother is a preacher
See, No body is interested in learning
but the teacher


Segregation
Domination

Demonstration
Integration
Aggrivation

Humiliation
Obligation to the nation


Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion
That's what your world today
Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion

That's what your world today

is like an all time high

City's aflame in the summer time, and
Oh, The beat goes on


Evolution, Revolution, Evolution....
Gun Control, the sound of soul
Politicians, can you $#&@ing believe them?


And the band played on
And the band played on


Round and around and around we go
Where ever we're standing no body knows


Take a look around
Can't you hear me talking to you?

Just a

Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion

That's what your world today
Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion
That's what your world today


See it in the air
Tension everywhere

Unemployment rising fast
Killers gangs watch your $$#


Gun control, the sound of soul

Segregation

Domination
Demonstration
Integration

Aggrivation
Humiliation
Obligation to the nation


Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion
That's what your world today


That's what your world today
Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion.... repeat
