It's all just a fucking illusion!

Just a fucking illusion

Do you know? Do you see what is real or just a lie?
Why is it that everyone is trying to get high?
We smoke, we drink, we kill ourselves slowly over time.
No money, broke again I spent my last ten on a dime.

Now on stage for a play I was thumbing thru my part
And I lost my script and I forgot my lines so this comes from the heart.
Everyone wants to tell you how to live your life
Well forget them and trust yourself and do what you think is right.

Cuz they’ll cast a spell so you can’t see what life is really about.
And they’ll sell their shit and you’ll buy it all without the slightest doubt.
You see the pressure comes when you’re very young to know what you want to be.
High school is when it starts, why can’t you see?

So you go to college, you’re not ready yet, your major is partying and getting laid,
You graduate. You get a job and within a week or two you get paid,
But with the credit cards and your student loans your debt encumbers you
And you meet someone, before you know it the two of you say “I do”

So you buy a house a brand new car, a couple of kids are due
Your babies are born, you work so much, they never really get to know you.
And then you and your wife drift apart from so much time away
You wonder when it all went wrong what happened on that day

Now alone and miserable you see your kids maybe once a week
Empty dreams, never seen guilty feelings are what you reap
She gets the house, you get the bills and half your pay goes to her
Always broke you realize you were wrong and you thought you were so sure.

So you look in the mirror and you shake your head at that man on the other side
You try to run, find a way to get off this crazy ride
Wondering what would have happened if instead you had pursued your dreams
Lost within your soul you are now coming apart at the seams.

Don’t you know, can’t you see that thru all of your confusion
The life they sold to you my friend, is just a fucking illusion!
