Ball of Confusion - Praying Mantis[00:00:00]
Written by:Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong[00:00:01]
People moving out people moving in why[00:00:32]
Because of the color of their skin[00:00:35]
Run run run but you sure can't hide[00:00:38]
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth[00:00:44]
Vote for me and I'll set you free[00:00:47]
Rap on you brother rap on[00:00:50]
Well the only person talking about love thy brother[00:00:55]
Is the preacher[00:00:59]
And it seems nobody's interested in learning[00:01:01]
But the teacher[00:01:05]
Segregation determination demonstration integration[00:01:09]
Aggravation humiliation obligation to my nation[00:01:12]
Ball of confusion oh yeah[00:01:15]
That's what the world is today[00:01:21]
Ball of confusion oh yeah[00:01:24]
That's what the world is today hey hey[00:01:30]
The sale of pills is at an all time high[00:01:36]
Young fools walking round with their heads in the sky[00:01:39]
Cities aflame in the summertime and oh[00:01:42]
And the beat goes on[00:01:47]
Evolution revolution gun control the sound of soul[00:01:54]
Shooting rockets to the moon kids growing up to soon[00:01:57]
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything[00:02:01]
And the band played on[00:02:05]
So round and round and round we go[00:02:11]
Where the world's headed nobody knows[00:02:16]
Can't you hear me talking to you just a[00:02:38]
Ball of confusion oh yeah[00:02:40]
That's what the world is today[00:02:46]
Ball of confusion oh yeah[00:02:49]
That's what the world is today hey hey[00:02:55]
Fear in the air tension everywhere[00:03:01]
Unemployment rising fast[00:03:04]
The Beatles new record's a gas[00:03:06]
And the only safe place to live[00:03:08]
Is on an Indian reservation[00:03:10]
And the band played on[00:03:13]
Eve of destruction tax deduction[00:03:19]
City inspectors bill collectors[00:03:23]
Sidewalk in demand population out of hand[00:03:25]
Suicide too many bills guess who's moving to the hills[00:03:27]
People all over the world[00:03:30]
Shout an end to war[00:03:32]
And the band played on[00:03:35]
A aah great googa nooga[00:03:56]
