"The Grand Illusion"

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

Don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
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
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
And deep inside we're all the same

America spells competition
Join us in the blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motorcar
And 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
