can't believe what you hear
don't believe what you read
hard to see what you need these days
can't believe that it's true
you know we had so much to do
how come you treat me this way
hey--you
why don't you play by the rules
play by the rules
you--just
you must take me
take me for some kind of fool
it's an illusion
here and gone in a day
not what it seems this American dream
just drifting away
it's an illusion
after all that we've seem
a complete waste of time
just a nursery rhyme
can't believe that you're leaving
can't believe what you hear
don't believe what you read
hard to see what you need--these days
they'll feed you the facts
leave you like a kid on a railroad track
our reason is fading away
O.K.
not much left I can do
I can do
you--just
you just took me
took me for some kinda fool
it's an illusion
here and gone in a day
not what it seems this American dream
just drifting away
it's an illusion
after all that we've seem
a complete waste of time
just a nursery rhyme
can't believe that you're leaving
it's an illusion..................
