Lyrics of Ball Of Confusion - Duran Duran

People movin' out, people movin' in, why ?,
because of the colour of their skin:
run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide.
Ane eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
vote for me and I'll set you free:
rap on, brother, rap on!
Well, the only person talkin' 'bout love thy
brother is preacher,
and it seems nobody's interested in learning,
but the teacher.
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration,
aggravation, humiliation, obligation, to our 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.

The safe of pills is at an all time high,
cities a flame in teh summer time and, oh,
teh beat goes on.
Gun control, the sound of soul,
politicians can you fuckin' believe them...
and the band played on!

Round and round and around we go,
where the world's headed nobody knows,
c'mon, c'mon can't you here me talkin' to you...

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.

Fear in the air, tension ev'rywhere,
unemployement rising fast,
killer gangs watch your ass.
Gun control, the sound of soul...
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration,
aggravation, humiliation, obligation, to our 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.
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.
