Pharoahe Monch - The Grand Illusion lyrics

[Chorus] It doesn't take your eyes to see What the pain won't take away When they take that fear away We're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the grand illusion They're never gonna let you see it 'Cause if they did, we'd all be free, yea We're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the grand illusion We were told that the hell below was a firey inferno I rediscovered my soul between the lines inside my journal Trapped in a pen state of mind yo paternal External gratification is not happiness eternal Interject, intellect, intercept, internet A slave majority where 5% benefit PhotoShop amateurs, retouched photography p**nography, sodomy, child labor economy Put away your hope, same political policies 2010 only minus the Space Odyssey It's gotta be a better way, we pray to hit the lottery We all need a the-rapist... For the robbery of our God and official public apology An angel plotted to have organized confusion You fell for the delusion, I'll expose the movement Illusion [chorus] Professional an*lyst, rhetoric, ramblin' Symbicort, Advair, Albuterol, Ambien I change the channel on commercials when I'm channelin' 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 f** what iThink? 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 [Chorus] They're never gonna let you see it 'Cause if they did, we'd all be free, yea We're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the grand illusion We're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the grand illusion We're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the grand illusion
