Lyrics
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 he says nobody gets to start learning but the teacher
Segregation, termination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, mediation, devastation of the 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 pills at an all time high
Who put the filling in pie in the sky?
The city's aflame in the summertime
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
Economics, Reaganomics both control the sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
The politicians say
And the band plays on
So round and round and round we go
Where the world's heading, 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
(Packing new records at 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
The same spectres of collection
Solid gold in demand, population outland
Suicide, juvenile
Everyone moving to the hills
People all over the world are dying in the war
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
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey hey
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey hey
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey hey
