BALL OF CONFUSION(Thats what the world is today)

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

People moving out, people moving in.
Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide.

An 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 talking about love thy brother is the...(preacher.)
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the...(teacher.)
Segregation, determination, demonstration, intergration,
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.

Ball of confusion.
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.
Woo, hey, hey.


The sale of pills are at an all time high.
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky.
The cities ablaze in the summer time.

And oh, the beat goes on.


Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon.
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.


And the band played on.

So, round and around and around we go.
Where the world's headed, nobody knows.



Oh, great googalooga, can't you hear me talking to you.
Just a ball of confusion.
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.
Woo, hey, hey.


Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas.


And the only safe place to live is on an indian reservation.


And the band played on.

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors,
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills,
Hippies moving to the hills. People all over the world are shouting, 'End the war.'


And the band played on.



Great googalooga, can't you hear me talking to you.
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.

Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
Sayin'... ball of confusion.
That's what the world is today, hey, hey.
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.
Sayin'... ball of confusion

3. I take it you are telling me there is a band called Love & Rockets

and they covered this tune? I stopped listening to any new music after Stevie Ray Vaughan died...in fact I'm going back in time...finally finding out about Robert Johnson,Lighting Hopkins,Elmore James,ect.

7. LOVE the Howlin dude with Hubert Sumerlin on guitar....

It could be a spoonful of diamonds
could be a spoonful of gold
just a little spoon of your precious love satisfies my soul

Loved Cream's version of that song too...Clapton's solo was ...hhhhmmm I can't find the words.

6. Yes, they covered it in the mid-'80s

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

8. Then they weren't the type of band I would have listened to

in the 1st place. Hated 80's music except for SRV.

EVER.

10. Thats cool...I'm not trying to get a flame war going here....

I'm sure you would hate some of the music I like as well...I like a lot of music that came out before I was born...love 50's rock-n-roll...Jerry Lee Lewis,Little Richard,Buddy Holly,Chuck Berry....dude they invented attitude and cool. Also like Motown and early punk...Sex Pistols are one of my all-time favorite bands.

11. I love a little bit of everything myself........

Jerry lee Lewis and Buddy Holly are two of my favs. Hey, if everyone liked the same music it would be a boring world.
