People movin' out people movin' in
Just because of the colour of their skin
They can run run run but they sure can't hide
Well it's an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on brothers and sisters rap on
Well the only person talkin' bout love and lovin' is the preacher
And it seems nobody gets to study learning no
But the teacher
And it's segregation determination demonstration integration
Aggravation humiliation obligation to our nation
It's just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today hey hey
It's just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today hey hey
Well the sales of pills are at an all time high
People out there walking round with their heads in the sky
Cities ablaze in the summertime
But ah the beat goes on the beat goes on
But oh now evolution revolution gun control
Sounds of soul
They're shooting rockets to the moon kids growing up too soon
Politicians say More taxes will solve everything
And the band played on
So around and around and around we go
Who ever wins anything nobody knows
Hey you out there you with the glasses
Great googa mooga can't you hear me talkin' to ya
It's just a ball of confusion oh yeah
I said that's what the world is today hey hey
It's just a ball of confusion oh yeah
I said that's what the world is today hey hey
There's fear in the air touching everywhere
Unemployment's rising fast and Chappo's new record's a gas
The only safe way to live on this planet is conversation
The band played on and on and on and on
The band played on
Eve of destruction tax deduction
City inspectors bill collectors
Designer clothes are in demand I hear and population's out of hand
Suicide too many bills keep us moving to the hills
People all over the world ae shouting End the war
What they sayin they're sayin' End the war
What you say
Said what you say
Hey you out there
What you say
Great googa mooga can't you hear me talkin' to ya
It's just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today hey hey
It's just a ball of confusion oh yeah
I said that's what the world is today hey hey
Suck it out your ear
Well the sales of pills are at an all time high
People out there walking round with their heads in the sky
Cities ablaze in the summertime
But ah the beat goes on the beat goes on
But oh now evolution revolution gun control
Sounds of soul
They're shooting rockets past the moon kids growing up too soon
Politicians say More taxes will solve everything
And the band played on and the beat went on
You know there's people movin' in people movin' out
Just because I mean there ain't no work about
They're goin' Work work work work but you sure can't find
They take an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth
You vote for me and I'll set you free
Oh brother ooh rap on
And it goes round and around and around we go
Who ever wins anything nobody knows
No no no but the beat goes on
