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, oh 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
