I'd give a large piece of all I have
For someone to tell me who I am A small price to pay
For an illusion today
But when I stand my ground
They just push me away I keep my mouth shut
Cause the keep me fed
I hide the thoughts inside my head A small price to pay
For an illusion today
But when I stand my ground
They just push me away (The successful institutions
are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they've got the power of atomic fusion) x2 (Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall) I have no regrets for faith in you
Til the day you would not see me through
A small price to pay for what was yesterday
Cause when I stood my ground
You just pushed me away (The successful institutions
are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they've got the power of atomic fusion) x2 The successful institutions
are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they've got the power of atomic fusion
They set the tide for atomic fusion (x4) The successful institutions
are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they've got the power of atomic fusion The successful institutions
Or the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they have the power of atomic fusion
And the set the tide for atomic fusion (Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall)
