Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]
[Bb][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]People movin' out,
people movin' in
Why? Because of the color of their skin

[Verse 2]
Run, run, run, but you just can't hide
[C]
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
[Cm]Rap on, [C]brother, rap on
[Cm][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, the only person talkin' 'bout lov
[Cm]in' [C]thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's
[Cm]interested in [C]learning
But the teacher
Segrega[Cm]tion, [Cdim]demonstra[Cm] tion
[C]Integration, determination
Aggravation, humiliation

[Verse 4]
Obligation to our nation
[Cm]Ball of [C]confusion
That's what the world is
today (yeah, yeah)

[Verse 5]
[C]The sale of pills is at an all time high
[Cm]Youn[C]g folks walkin' with
their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time,
and [Cm]oh[C]

[Interlude 1]
The beat goes on
[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]Evolution, revolution, gun control,
the sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon,
[Cm]kids growin' up [C]too soon
Politicians say,
"More taxes will solve everything"
And the band played on

[Verse 7]
So 'round and around [C]and
around we go
Where the world's headed,

[Interlude 2]
nobody knows

Oh, great [C]googa mooga
Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is
today (hey hey)

[Verse 9]
Fear in the [C]air,
tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
The Beatle's new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on
an Indian reservation
[Cm]The band played on
[C][Cm]

[Verse 10]
[C]Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors,
mod [Cm]clothes in demand
[C]Population out of hand,
suicide, too many bills
Hippies movin' to the hills
People all over the world are shouting,
"End the [Cm]war"[C]
And the band [Cm]played[C][G]
[C][F][C]
[G][C][Dm]
