Lyrics of Mirror People '88 - (Single Edit) by Love and Rockets
verse
People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you just can't hide
verse
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
verse
Rap on, rap on brother
Rap on
verse
Well, the only person talking about love today is the preacher
And it seems nobody gets just all the learning but the teacher
verse
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, devastation of our nation
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey, hey
verse
The sale of pills at an all time high
Who put the filling in the primus sky?
The city's a flame in the summer time
chorus
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
verse
Economics, reaganomics, birth control, the status quo
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
The Politicians say and the band plays on
verse
So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's heading
Nobody knows
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey, hey hey
verse
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
Rockets new record's a gas
chorus
And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played
verse
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Solid gold in demand, population out of hand, suicide
verse
Too many bills, everyone movin' to the hills
People all over the world are dying in the war
verse
And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Hey, ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion, ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Hey, ball of confusion, ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion, ball of confusion
Ball of confusion, ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey
chorus
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
