People moving out, people moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, but you sure can't hide
You better!
Shake a hand make ‘em free, hmm

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher… and me
And it seems nobody's interested in learning, but the teacher
Talking ‘bout the Golden Rule

Segregation (segregation), determination (determination)
Humiliation (humiliate)
Obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion, ball of confusion, that's what the world is today
Hey, yeah

The sales of pills are at an all-time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities aflame in the summertime, why?
Cause people want the heat around
And oh!
And the beat goes on

[Instrumental solo]

Evolution, revolution
Gun control, talking ‘bout the sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kid growing up says ohh!
The beat goes on
