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
Show you photographs of how your life should be
But that you're someone else's fantasies
So if you think your life is complete
Confusion because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
Deep inside we're all the same
All the same same same same same same
Same same same same 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
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 stop to ponder what we had
Beyond us this spell we're under
We made the grade
And still we wonder who the hell we are
