Текст песни Love and Rockets - Ball Of Confusion

People moving out, people moving in

Why, because of the color of their skin

Run, run, run but you just can't hide

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Vote for me and I'll set you free

Rap on, rap on brother, rap on

Well, the only person talking about love today is the preacher

And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher

Segregation, determination, demonstration, intergration

Aggravation, humiliation, devastation of our nation

Ball of confusion

Yeah, that's what the world is today

Hey, hey

Ball of confusion

Yeah, that's what the world is today

Hey, hey

The sale of pills are at an all time high

Who put the filling in pie in the sky?

The cities aflame in the summer time!

And the beat goes on

And the beat goes on

And the beat goes on

And the beat goes on

Economics, Reaganomics, Birth Control, The Status Quo

Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon

Politicians say

And the band played on

So, round and around and around we go

Where the world's headed, nobody knows

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today

Hey hey

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today

Hey hey

Hey hey

Fear in the air, tension everywhere

Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas

And the band played on

And the band played on

And the band played

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors

Solid Gold in demand, population out of hand, suicide

Too many bills, Everyone moving to the hills

People all over the world are dying in the war

And the band played on

And the band played on

And the band played on

And the band played

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today, hey, hey

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today, hey, hey

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today, hey, hey

Ball of confusion

That's what the world is today

Hey Hey
