Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Woo, hey, hey
Oh, great Googamooga
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
And oh, the beat goes on
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
The cities ablaze in the summer time
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Rap on, brother, rap on
Sayin' ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
'End the war' and the band played on
Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
And the band played on
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
People moving out, people moving in
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Ball of confusion
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And the band played on
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
Where the world's headed, said nobody knows
So, round and around and around we go
Woo, hey, hey
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
It's a ball of confusion
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation
The sale of pills are at an all time high
