I tried to use my illusion
To live inside my fantasy
Fabrication
Nice people, easy money
Success from hard work and sweat
And the good guys always win
I guess you’ve guessed
It didn’t take long
For the illusion to hit the road
With a drink and a song
So now I see the world for what it is
Hard work and sweat to just survive
And the good guys have some disease
They got in the Persian Gulf
And the money’s easy, but not to get
So here I am without the illusion
Seeing the truth of it all
But I wish I still believed
The illusion
