(Dennis DeYoung)
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
They 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
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion

And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...


So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion

And deep inside we're all the same.
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 on Earth's this spell

we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
