[Intro]
It's such a cold, cold world
It's such a bold, bold, world
Yeah, people that don't dig people are drag
Right on

[Verse 1]
People movin' out, people movin' 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, and I'll set you free
Rap on, sister, rap on
Well, the only person talkin' about, "Love thy brother" is a preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learnin'
But the teacher

[Bridge 1]
Segregation (Segregation)
Determination (Determination)
Demonstration (Demonstration)
Obligation to our nation

[Verse 2]
Well, that's what the world is today, yeah, yeah
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summertime
And, oh-oh-oh, the beat goes on
Air pollution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon
Kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything, well
And the band played on
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]
So 'round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Music, take me home
Reach out and touch the sky
Music, take me home
Reach out and touch the sky
Music, take me home
Reach out and touch the sky

[Chorus]
Freak ooga-booga, can't you hear me talkin' to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Well, that's what the world is today, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
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
Well, 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 movin' to the hills
People all over the world, are shoutin', "End the war"
[Bridge 3]
Horns, right on
Take me home
Music, right on
Take me home
Music, right on
Take me home

[Chorus]
Freak ooga-booga, can't you hear me talkin' to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Well, that's what the world is today, yeah, yeah

[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 5]
High, high, I wanna take it high
High, high, I wanna take it high
High, high, I wanna take it high
High, high, I wanna take it high
[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind

[Verse 4]
Come on and let good time roll up
Let the music sink down into your soul
Come on and let good time roll up
Let the music sink down into your soul
Come on and let good time roll up
Let the music sink down into your soul
Come on and let good time roll up (I like the sound)
Let the music sink down into your soul (Of lovin' you, babe)
Come on and let good time roll up (Funky music does something to our soul)
Let the music sink down into your soul (Well)
Come on and let good time roll up (I like the sound)
Let the music sink down into your soul (Of lovin' you, babe)
Come on and let good time roll up (Funky music sure enough turns me on)
Let the music sink down into your soul (Uh)

[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind

[Bridge 6]
Hey, you, over there
Come here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, you, over there
Come here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I want you to (Uh)

[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind

[Bridge 7]
Come on, take me higher, take me higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher

[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind

[Bridge 8]
Higher, higher, I wanna take you higher
Higher, higher, I wanna take you higher
Higher, higher, I wanna take you higher
Higher, higher, I wanna take you higher
Higher, higher, I wanna take you higher

[Chorus 2]
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
Let the music take your mind
