Working six days to get one
Keep your head down work hard
When you retire you'll have fun
They're always wanting more from you
Shackles on your hands until you are 72
Sell you a dream a life of plenty
But you won't have the fire you had when you were 20
Working nonstop to pay rent
Now your time's up and spent
There's no more left for you

Is it an illusion
Are you under a veil of confusion
Find a solution
Maybe it's time to start your revolution
Is it an illusion is it an illusion

Have to hold up this home
You're keeping everyone together and yet you feel alone
You put your dreams up on the shelf
While you're busy dreaming for everyone else
If only they knew
All the pain that you are fighting through
And after all you give in time
After all you sacrifice
Will you get your chance to shine

It is an illusion
Are you under a veil of confusion
Find a solution
Maybe it's time to start your revolution
It is an illusion is it an illusion

Wake up to what is real
Remember what's important
Have you forgotten how to feel
For once put down your phone
Don't waste time
Be with your heart at home
The world is on its axis
Sell our souls to pay our taxes
Where did we go wrong

It's an illusion
You're under a veil of confusion
You find a solution
Maybe it's time to start your revolution

It's an illusion
Don't be fooled
It's an illusion
Don't buy their lies
It's an illusion
Don't give up
Don't give in
Now is your time.

It's an illusion
You're under a veil of confusion
Now is your time
You found a solution
It is time to start your revolution
