Duran Duran(named after a character in Roger Vadim's sci-fi classic, Barbarella) are an electronic pop-rock band that were part of the new wavemusic movement in the early 1980s. Created by Nick Rhodes(keyboards) and John Taylor(bass) in 1978, with the later addition of Roger Taylor(drums), Andy Taylor(guitar), and Simon Le Bon(lead vocals), the band have sold over 70 million records and are the most commercially successful of the new romanticbands. Their songs were cheerful, hook-laden pop that fared well on the radio, but what many remember best about Duran Duran are their iconic music videos. Though many of the videos were tongue-in-cheek, the band never quite escaped the glamorous and decadent jet set image their early videos projected. The band spent on an average more than a six figure sum (£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Ball Of Confusion Lyrics

Duran Duran

(whitfield,strong)
People moving out,
People moving in,
Why?
Because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure cant hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, Ill set you free
Rap on brother, rap on.
Well the only person talking about love thy brother is a preacher
See, no body is interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation! domination! demonstration!
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation!
Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
Thats what your world is today
Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
Thats what your world is today-ay-ay
The singing is like an all time high
Citys aflame in the summer time, and ohh,
The beat goes on....
Evolution! revolution! evolution!....
Gun control, the sound of soul
Politicians, can you fucking believe them?
And the band played on
And the band played on
Round and around and around we go
Where ever were standing nobody knows
Take a look around -
Cant you hear me talking to you?
Just a...
(chorus)
See it in the air
Tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
Killers gangs watch your ass
Gun control, the sound of soul
Segregation! domination! demonstration
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation
(chorus) (chorus)
Thats what your world is today
Ball of confusion,
Ball of confusion...
Thats what your world is today..
