The Grand Illusion (Circa 1973) |
It doesn’t take your eyes to see what the paint won’t take away |
When they take that veil away |
You’re just caught up in the mass confusion |
Confused by the Grand Illusion |
They’re never gonna let you see it |
Cause if they did, we’d all be free, yeah |
You’re just caught up in the mass confusion |
Confused by the Grand Illusion |
We were told that the Hell below was a fiery inferno |
I rediscovered my soul between the lines inside my journal |
Trapped within a +Penn State+ of mind, Joe Paterno |
External gratification is not happiness eternal |
Interject, intellect, intercept, Internet |
A slave majority where five percent benefit |
Photoshopped images, re-touched photography |
Pornography, sodomy, child labor economy |
Put away your hope, same political policies |
Two-thousand and ten, only minus the space odyssey |
There’s gotta be a better way, we pray to hit the lottery |
We all need of the rapist… |
For the robbery of our God, an official public apology |
An angel plotted to have Organized Konfusion |
You fell for the delusion, I’ll expose the movement |
Illusion… |
Professional analysts, rhetoric, rambling |
Symbicort, Advair, Albuterol, ambient |
I change the channel on commercials when I’m channeling |
Everybody’s a star, lights, cameras |
Seventeen-thousand times a day the human eye blinks |
Making us even more subjectable to the hijinks |
IPhone, iChat, who gives a fuck what I think? |
One world currency, doesn’t matter where I bank |
There is no pot of gold at the end of a mythical rainbow |
We’re uneducated contestants, life is the game show |
Your leader is the host, the results are painful |
The judges weave a web in which we all get tangled |
Their only contribution to the world is a delusion |
Which has no physical power, I offer you a solution |
Pharoahe Monch, the antonym for translucent |
Lyrical revolution, I’ll expose the movement |
Illusion… |
You’re just caught up in the mass confusion |
Confused by the Grand Illusion |
You’re just caught up in the mass confusion |
Confused by the Grand Illusion |
