Hey all you people, in the shiny cars,
Who dug the trenches will reach the stars,
That's a funny program,
What's it show or tell?
If it's not what you're thinking,
Then you can go to hell.

Or is it an illusion?
Is it an illusion?

Sport and religion,
What a game.
You can call it progress,
But what's the aim?
You can't fake the fantastic,
No more, no more,
We can't keep on hacking away,
When no one knows the score

Or is it an illusion?
Is it an illusion?

You've got to give to take away [x4]…

Is it an illusion [x3]…?
You’ve got to give to take away.
