Styx - Grand Illusion Lyrics
Have you ever been sittin' at home watchin' televisionand suddenly something comes on the TV and you say to yourself,"Hey, how come my life ain't like that?"Or maybe you're sittin' lookin' in a magazine,you see some pictures, some advertising, you says,"Man, I must really suck because my life sure ain't like that."Did you ever feel that way? Yeah-Well, you wanna know why your life isn't like what you see on TVand in movies, in magazines and such, you wanna know why?'Cause that's all bullshit! That's right-Don't you go believing movies and TV and rock videos and all that crap, come on, I mean-All that is is somebody else's fantasy, you know what I'm sayin' to you?In fact, all it is is really more like a "Grand Illusion."Welcome to the grand illusionCome on in and see what's happenin'Pay the price get your tickets for the showThe stage is set, the band starts playin'Suddenly your heart is poundingYou're wishing secretly you were a starBut don't be fooled by the radioThe TV or the magazineThey'll show you photographsOf how your life should beBut they're just someone else's fantasiesSo if you think your life is complete confusion'Cause you never win the gameJust remember that it's a grand illusionAnd deep inside we're all the sameWe're all the sameSo if you think your life is complete confusion'Cause your neighbor's got it madeJust remember that it's a grand illusionDeep inside we're all the sameAmerica spells competitionJoin us in our blind ambitionGet yourself a brand new motor carBut someday soon we'll start to ponderWhat on earth is this spell we're underWe made the grade and still we wonderWho the hell we are
