Anthrax
Ball of Confusion
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, ooh, 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
