[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 mass 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 mass 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 Pornography, 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 analyst, 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*ck 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 mass confusion Confused by the grand illusion We're just caught up in the mass confusion Confused by the grand illusion We're just caught up in the mass confusion Confused by the grand illusion
