It doesn't take your eyes to see what the paint won't take away
When they take that veil away
We're caught up in the mass confusion
Confused by the Grand Illusion

Cause if they did, we'd all be free
We're caught up in the mass confusion
Confused by the Grand Illusion

We were told that the Hell below was a fiery inferno
I rediscovered my soul between the lines inside my journal
Trapped within a Penn State of mind, Joe Paterno
External gratification is not happiness eternal
Interject, intellect, intercept, Internet
A slave majority with one percent benefit
Photoshopped images, re-touched photography
Pornography, sodomy, child labor economy
Put away your hope, same political policies
Two-thousand and ten, only minus the space odyssey
There's gotta be a better way, we pray to hit the lottery
We all need a the rapist...
For the robbery of our God, an official public apology
An angel plotted to have Organized Konfusion
You fell for the delusion, I'll expose the movement
Illusion... Pharoahe Monch (Ft. The Stepkids) – Eht Dnarg Noisulli
