Illusions Lyrics - Opiate For The Masses

I'd give a large piece of all I have 

For someone to tell me who I am 

A small price to pay 

For an illusion today 

But when I stand my ground 

They just push me away 

I keep my mouth shut 

Cause the keep me fed 

I hide the thoughts inside my head 

A small price to pay 

For an illusion today 

But when I stand my ground 

They just push me away 

(The successful institutions 

are the best of all illusions 

They are anti-humanistic 

And they've got the power of atomic fusion) x2 

(Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom 

When the jungle shadows fall 

Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock 

As it stands against the wall) 

I have no regrets for faith in you 

Til the day you would not see me through 

A small price to pay for what was yesterday 

Cause when I stood my ground 

You just pushed me away 

(The successful institutions 

are the best of all illusions 

They are anti-humanistic 

And they've got the power of atomic fusion) x2 

The successful institutions 

are the best of all illusions 

They are anti-humanistic 

And they've got the power of atomic fusion 

They set the tide for atomic fusion (x4) 

The successful institutions 

are the best of all illusions 

They are anti-humanistic 

And they've got the power of atomic fusion 

The successful institutions 

Or the best of all illusions 

They are anti-humanistic 

And they have the power of atomic fusion 

And the set the tide for atomic fusion 

(Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom 

When the jungle shadows fall 

Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock 

As it stands against the wall)
