Anthrax - Ball Of Confusion Lyrics
People moving out,
People moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
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, integration,
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Cities aflame in the summertime, 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 Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, ooh, yeah yeah
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
Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, 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
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya
[...& fade]

Anthrax Ball Of Confusion Comments
Question everything! HK strong!
Absolutely love this version. Way better than the original. Just wish I could get this version on spotify.
GOOD JOB!!👍 I remember this song when I was a kid and here is Anthrax playing it with Justice.
i remember buy this CD in downtown boston in june of 91 for the song inside out and when this track came on the car stereo went full volume and i really had the 3 ten inch subs pounding, the bass line on this track is outstanding.
well inside out came out in 99 and did not feature this song ^^
Bush has such a powerful voice...!!! 🤘
Barresi could become bigger than anyone... 😎
Bad Ass!?.
I love you profile pic bro, infowars is real news
Como siempre inmejorables haciendo versiones !!! grandes!!!
Amazing lyrics. This cover just shows what potential Anthrax's members would have if they didn't have to sing mostly meaningless cheese because of comic geek Scott Ian.
you are talking out of your ass
You've obviously never heard "Dallabnikufesin". It's perfect. ;)
perfect theme for today
Damn! Great cover!!
Steve M I agree!
Politicians STILL say "more taxes will solve everything!"
my favourite song ;)
Joey y John juntos! Me sorprendio mucho, ademas el cover es Excelente
I like it!
NIIIIIIIIIICE
{spoken like Butt-Head} Yeah! The national Anthrax!!! :-)
That's what the world is today...heyyyayyy
SP M it’s always been that way and will probably never change
Joey and John together, sick cover
this was unexpectedly great
Kraft durch Freude Freude I agree!
Awesome cover
...And the band played on... :)
It was already great song beforehand.
And I hope people understand the social commentary. Because people these days whine and moan about bands that are into politics.
I just wanna break something!! Too awesome for words!!
Love both the original and this one.
I know right!!! :D
John Bush & Joey Belladonna singing together. Cool song.
Fuck you!!!
Listened by accident. Won't make that mistake again.
Youre like a dude who finishes his milkshake, and then asks the waiter for another one cause it was the wrong taste.fuck off
Listened to the whole thing by accident, eh? Um,yea...
Some good songs can be turned into great ones........This is one of those cases.
Good rendition. Not a big metal fan but this is a jam.
so bad ass!! :)
Now there are 3. At least we know who 1o fthem is :). Great upload mister!
Holy fuck this rules so hard. Motown and thrash metal: two of my favorite things that I never thought could be successfully merged. I've been proven wrong.
Then don't listen to it DUMB ASS!
this is absolutly terrible! motown sounds like shit a metal
Great work. Exactly as good as the Temptations' version.
Fuc*****g awesome!
Yep! It does! I just wonder who the fucker is who disliked this!
Great music & great bands go together. Anthrax kicked the shit out of this one.
What a great fucking cover.
Anthrax REALLY knocked it out of the park with this one.
I will hunt this album down just for this song
I'm a Temptations fan and I think Anthrax is great....but this kicks ass!
Thanks For Sharing
@euphamismlife The Temptations did the original. A lot of bands have covered this song.
Hence Ball Of Confusion.. THEY were supposed to do this song and split shows in 1999.. Belladonna wanted more money and backed out..
fucker.
@WhoblehwahV2 If I remember right it has Danny Lilker on bass for this track.
cherryyeti85 when Frankie wss in helmet ?
Una mierda de cover, Antrhax es una basura viviendo de covers y solo hacen basura un grupo que es una basura, una mierda en el metal, que canción recordada es de que Antrhax que se recuerde como una gran canción, nada y hacen un cover de ball of confusion cantando como si fueran Iron Maiden con sindrome de Down, que basura!!!!!
I never heard of this band's music and until today. I am just picky I guess. lol So far this is the only song I really like. The other ones I've heard were ok. But I really like this.
@mindblown2011 Yeah it's crazy but I wish they would. Still AWESOME that they did this 1
@euphemismlife The Temptations
Dan Lilker is playing the Bass on this track
this is the most eclectic Anthrax line up
@WhoblehwahV2 Both Joey & John sing on this it came out on Return of the killer A's
@euphemismlife the temptations ...
this shows that anthrax is fkn awsome
@HandsomeDynamite This does to kick ass and you know it. It's so freaking awesome.
@HandsomeDynamite if you think this is hilarious look at what a wonderful world Death metal version its totally kickass.
This brings me back to my highschool years. I loved this song and still do.
Great version!
This is a great cover !
@HandsomeDynamite oh okay.
@111vnderbnder111
Cause it's a cover by a thrash metal band of a soulful Motown song? Not saying it doesn't kick total ass, I just think it's hilarious.
@HandsomeDynamite Why not?
Holy shit, I can't believe this exists.
in this song you can hear that bush is better than joey belladona
yeah :D
I remember hearing this a while back. Is it just me or does this have Belladonna and Bush on it? I never noticed. Thats pretty awesome.
Yes, Joey and John are both singing.
@balloonfritz what are you talking you talking about
strange. anthrax covers the temptation.
yeah glad you like it :)
I didn't even know about this song before today. It's pretty cool.
