Ball of Confusion Lyrics by Hayseed Dixie

Free Your Mind and Your Grass Will Follow

2017

[Verse 1]
People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run
But you just can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free, yeah
Rap on, rap on, brother, rap on
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the only person talking 'bout love today is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, demonstration, determination, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
[Chorus]
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Sale of pills at an all-timе high
Young folks walkin' 'round heads in the sky
The citiеs ablaze in the summertime
And the beat goes on, huh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon and kids growing up too soon
Politicians said more taxes will fix everything
And the band played on
So, around and around and around we go
Where the world's headed nobody knows
Oh, Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you, Lord?
[Chorus]
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, Coldplay record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on the moon
And the band played on
[Pre-Chorus]
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 dying in the war
And the band played on
Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you, Lord?
[Chorus]
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
Just a ball of confusion
Yeah, that's what the world is today
Hey, hey
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
[Outro]
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
