| Welcome to the Grand illusion
|
| Come on in and see what’s happening
|
| Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
|
| The stage is set, the band starts playing
|
| Suddenly your heart is pounding
|
| Wishing secretly you were a star.
|
| But don’t be fooled by the radio
|
| The TV or the magazines
|
| They show you photographs of how your life should be But they’re just someone else’s fantasy
|
| So if you think your life is complete confusion
|
| Because you never win the game
|
| Just remember that it’s a Grand illusion
|
| And deep inside we’re all the same.
|
| We’re all the same…
|
| So if you think your life is complete confusion
|
| Because your neighbors got it made
|
| Just remember that it’s a Grand illusion
|
| And deep inside we’re all the same.
|
| We’re all the same…
|
| America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
|
| Get yourself a brand new motor car
|
| Someday soon we’ll stop to ponder what on Earth’s this spell we’re under
|
| We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
