Pharoahe Monch - The Grand Illusion (Circa 1973) lyrics

[Produced by Adam Deitch and Eric Krasno] [Hook: Citizen Cope] It doesn't take your eyes to see what the paint won't take away When they take that veil away You'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, yeah You're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the Grand Illusion [Pharoahe Monch] We were told that the Hell below was a fiery inferno I rediscovered my soul between the lines inside my journal Trapped within a +Penn State+ of mind, Joe Paterno External gratification is not happiness eternal Interject, intellect, intercept, Internet A slave majority where five percent benefit Photoshopped images, re-touched photography p**nography, sodomy, child labor economy Put away your hope, same political policies Two-thousand and ten, only minus the space odyssey There's gotta be a better way, we pray to hit the lottery We all need of the rapist... For the robbery of our God, an official public apology An angel plotted to have Organized Konfusion You fell for the delusion, I'll expose the movement Illusion... [Hook] [Pharoahe Monch] Professional an*lysts, rhetoric, rambling Symbicort, Advair, Albuterol, ambient I change the channel on commercials when I'm channeling 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 I think? 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... [Hook] [Citizen Cope] You're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the Grand Illusion You're just caught up in the ma** confusion Confused by the Grand Illusion [Guitar Solo]
