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, 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
Yeah, that's what the world is today, Woo, hey, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high, Young folks walking 'round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze 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 (horn lines)
So, round and around and around we go, Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Bridge Riff: (harmonica)

Oh, great googalooga, can't you hear me talking to you?
C
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today A-hey, hey
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 (horns)
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
Bridge Riff: (harmonica)

Sayin'... Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin'... Ball of confusion!
