Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, aggravation,
humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of Confusion that’s what the world is today [yeah, yeah]
The sale of pills is at an all time high
young folks walkin’ ’round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time, oh the beat goes on
Eve of destruction tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul,
Shootin’ rockets to the moon,kids growin’ up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve ev’rything, and the band played on.
