Average song rating It' all about the illusion of indivuality. We go about our daily lives imagining that we are different, but the difference are only superficial. We're all connected by emotion and biology Clint Wirth January 29, 2009

Lyrics

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



Interpretation

It's easy to buy in to the media-induced fantasy about what is important in life, but, as Dennis says in concert, "that's all bullsh**.!" Who you are inside is what really matters.
