lirik lagu pharoahe monch – the grand illusion (circa 1973)
[chorus]:
it doesn’t take your eyes to see
what the pain won’t take away
when they take that fear away
we’re just caught up in the m-ss confusion
confused by the grand illusion
they’re never gonna let you see it
’cause if they did, we’d all be free, yeah
we’re just caught up in the m-ss confusion
confused by the grand illusion
[verse 1]
we were told that the h-ll below was a fiery inferno
i rediscovered my soul between the lines inside my journal
trapped in a pen state of mind yo paternal
external gratification is not happiness eternal
interject, intellect, intercept, internet
a slave majority where 5% benefit
photoshop amateurs, retouched photography
p-rnography, sodomy, child labour economy
put away your hope, same political policies
2010 only minus the sp-ce odyssey
it’s gotta be a better way, we pray to hit the lottery
we all need a the-rapist…
for the robbery of our god and official public apology
an angel plotted to have organized konfusion
you fell for the delusion, i’ll expose the movement
illusion…
[chorus]
[verse 2]
professional -n-lyst, rhetoric, rambling
symbicort, advair, albuterol, ambien
i change the channel on commercials when i’m channeling
everybody’s a star, lights, cameras
17, 000 times a day the human eye blinks
making us even more subjectable to the hijinks
iphone, ichat, who gives a f-ck what ithink?
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…
[chorus]
