Lyrics

(Whitfield,strong)

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
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on

Well the only person talking about love thy brother is a preacher
See, no body is interested in learning but the teacher

Segregation! domination! demonstration!
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation!

Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
That's what your world is today
Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
That's what your world is today-ay-ay

The singing is like an all time high
City's aflame in the summer time, and ohh
The beat goes on...

Evolution! revolution! evolution!...
Gun control, the sound of soul
Politicians, can you fucking believe them?

And the band played on
And the band played on

Round and around and around we go
Where ever we're standing nobody knows

Take a look around -
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a..

(Chorus)

See it in the air
Tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
Killers gangs watch your ass

Gun control, the sound of soul
Segregation! domination! demonstration
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation

(Chorus) (chorus)

That's what your world is today
Ball of confusion
Ball of confusion..
That's what your world is today.
