The Grand Illusion

Song by Styx

 

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.

 

Have you ever been sittin' at home watchin' television

and 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 TV

and 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 illusion

Come on in and see what's happenin'

Pay the price get your tickets for the show

The stage is set, the band starts playin'

Suddenly your heart is pounding

You're wishing secretly you were a star

 

But don't be fooled by the radio

The TV or the magazine

They'll show you photographs

Of how your life should be

But they're just someone else's fantasies

 

So if you think your life is complete confusion

'Cause 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

'Cause your neighbor's got it made

Just remember that it's a grand illusion

Deep inside we're all the same

 

America spells competition

Join us in our blind ambition

Get yourself a brand new motor car

 

But someday soon we'll start to ponder

What on earth is this spell we're under

We made the grade and still we wonder

Who the hell we are......
