Neville Brothers - Ball of Confusion lyrics

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 The only person talking about love but can you trust... the preacher And it seems everybody's making more money than the teachers Incarceration, immigration, isolation, intimidation, immunization, instigation What's the nation's obligation? Ball of confusion That's what the world is today The sale of drugs are at an all time high Young folks walk around with their head in the sky Cities aflame in the summer time And oh, the beat goes on Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul Wastin' money goin' to war Children 'round the world are starved Politicians still 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, break through the rumor Can't you hear me talking to you? Just a ball of confusion Oh, that's what the world is today Let me hear ya Fear in the air, tension everywhere Unemployment rising fast Outkast's new record's a gas And the only safe place to live Is still the Indian reservation And the band played on Eve of destruction, tax deduction City inspectors, bill collectors, designer clothes in demand Pimpulation out of hand, suicide, too many bills Rich folks moving to the hills People 'round the world still shouting "end the war!" And the band played on Oh, great googa mooga Can't you hear me talking to you? Ball of confusion Oh, that's what the world is today
