tina turner ball off confusion

a classic tina turner song heres the lyrics

People moving out,
People moving in,
Why, because of the color of their skin,
Run, run, run, but you just cant hide.

An eye for an eye,
Tooth for a tooth,
Vote for me and Ill set you free,
Rap on, brother, rap on.

Well, the only person talking about loving thy brother is the preacher,
And it seems nobodys interested in learning, but the teacher,
Segregation, demonstration, intergration, determination, aggravation,
humiliation,
Obligation to our nation.

Ball of confusion,
Thats what the world is today, hey.

The sale of pills is at an all time high,
Young folks walk with their heads in the sky,
The 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,"
The band played on.

So, round and around and around we go,
Where the worlds headed, nobody knows

Oh, great googamooga,
Cant you hear me talking to you,
Just a ball of confusion,
Thats what the world is today, hey.

Fear in the air, tension everywhere,
Unemployment rising fast,
The beatles new records a gas,
And the only safe place to live,
Is on an indian reservation,
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 googamooga,
Cant you hear me talking to you,
Just a ball of confusion,
Thats what the world is today, yea-yea,
Just a ball of confusion,
Tell ya thats what the world is today, yea-yea,
Just a ball of confusion, oh!

haha no problem thank you

This is actually a 1991 remix of the original. It's the most commonly available version now. When the original album was released on CD the original version was replaced by a remix. The original version clocks in at about 3:50. Anybody have that one ?

[sparkycee]

i never knew that i would like to hear that

[CircleCityEric]

YES!! Fourteen years after having read about Miss Turner's version of this song, I finally get to HEAR IT!! AND, IT'S AWESOME!

It's everything I hoped it would be. Miss Turner might've had reservations about the song and the genre back in 1982, but it doesn't show here. In fact, even with the wonderful synthesized accompaniment, it fits neatly into the Rolling Stones-esque rock mold she'd gotten into by then.
