(Whitfield,Strong)

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 is today

Ball of Confusion, (Ball of Confusion!)

That's what your world is today-ay-ay

The singing is like an all time high

City's aflame in the summer time, and Ohh,

The beat goes on....

Evolution! Revolution! Evolution!....

Gun Control, the sound of soul

Politicians, can you fucking believe them?

And the band played on

And the band played on

Round and around and around we go

Where ever we're standing nobody knows

Take a look around -

Can't you hear me talking to you?

Just a...

(chorus)

See it in the air

Tension everywhere

Unemployment rising fast

Killers gangs watch your ass

Gun control, the sound of soul

Segregation! Domination! Demonstration

Integration! Aggrivation! Humiliation!

Obligation to the nation

(chorus) (chorus)

That's what your world is today

Ball of Confusion,

Ball of Confusion...

That's what your world is today..
