As the band STYX so appropriately sung.....
"Welcome to the Grand Illusion"
Lyrics:
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
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
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
Who is moderating this?
It's been quite a while..... Just wondering why it takes so long.
Bottom line, you're right - we've been living under huge illusions. And I suspect we will see even more of them revealed soon.
Key line(s) in the Lyrics:
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
Grand Illusion...fits our days perfectly.
Some how we gotta get out of this mess. Otherwise were on a highway to hell...
If you think what we are seeing now is a mess, I can only wonder if all this is just a large pack of distractions. Oh look! It's a squirrel. If that assessment is correct, then what on earth are we missing while the comms are filled with someone else's fantasy? Dear God, help us keep our eyes on you.
