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 But don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazines Show you photographs of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasy 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 neighbors 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 our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car Someday soon we'll start to ponder What on Earth's this spell we're under We made the grade and still we wonder Who the hell we are
