Ball Of Confusion

(album: Ugly Bill - 1991)

A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

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 and I'll set you free
The only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
Nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
around and around and around we go
Where it stops nobody knows

Segregation determination demonstration integration
Aggravation humiliation obligation to our nation
A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The city's ablaze in the summer time
And the beat goes on

Economics Reaganomics birth control
Sound of soul shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
The politicians say

Around and around and around we go
Where it stops nobody knows

A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
