Ball Of Confusion Lyrics

World morality is starting to fade
The fighting, the feuding
Over what? we don't know
The global temper spreads and continues to grow
Into the minds od the lost and disillusioned
Trying to make sense of this ball of confusion
Into the minds of the lost and disillusioned
Trying to make sense of this ball of confusion
I don't know where I fit into this game
I've listened to their lies and they're all the same
Con artists all around, no one to believe
There's no place in this game for you and me
They're trying to break us down, yeah!!!
They're trying to break us down!!!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
