Illusions (Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I 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 they 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

[Chorus]
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion

[Post-Chorus]
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick-tock of a stately clock
As it stands against the wall

[Verse 2]
I had 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

[Chorus]
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion

[Refrain]
Aah, aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah

[Chorus]
The successful institutions
Are the best of all Illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion
They set the time for atomic fusion
They set the time for atomic fusion
They set the time for atomic fusion
They set the time for atomic fusion

[Bridge]
(Well, you tell them what you want, just don't tell them the truth)(Well, you tell them what you want, just don't tell them the truth)
(Well, you tell them what you want, just don't tell them the truth)(Well, you tell them what you want, just don't tell them the truth)

[Chorus]
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they got the power of atomic fusion
The successful institutions
Are the best of all illusions
They are anti-humanistic
And they set the time for atomic fusion

[Outro]
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick-tock of a stately clock
As it stands against the wall
