Текст песни Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today) - The Neville Brothers

People movin' out, people movin' in.
Why? because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I'll will set you free
Come on, brother, rap on.
Well, the only person talkin' 'bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems everybody makin' more money than the teacher
Incarceration, immigration, isolation, intimidation,
Immunization, instigation, what's the nations obligation?
Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today (yeah, yeah) Let me hear 'ya, let me hear 'ya
The sale of drugs are at an all time high
Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time, and oh the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul, Wastin' money burnin' all kids around the world get along

Politicians still say more taxes will solve everything, and the band played on.
Round and round and around we go, where the world's headed nobody knows.
Great googa mooga, can't you hear me talkin' to you, just a
Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today. (yeah, yeah)
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, I guess you'll be getting' the gas and the only safe place to live is still in an Indian reservation,
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors, designer clothes in demand,
Population out of hand, suicide, too many bills, wishful movin' to the hills
People all over the world are shouting end the war and the band played on.
Round and round and around we go, where the world's headed nobody knows.
Great googa mooga, can't you hear me talkin' to you,
Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today
Let me hear you, let me hear you, let me hear you
Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today
