[Intro riff]
I felt your grip begin to fade
You kept me tied, blind, and afraid
But then I broke you and saw
The look on your face said it all

So could you feel the way I felt?
Did you kneel the way I knelt?
Did you stand up and yell
Pleading for someone to help?

Or listen to reason?
Open your eyes
It's a wonder what you'll find
With an open mind
You may be surprised

Yeah!

Gotta get away from this illusion
For the sake of the world
This delusion
Has gotta
Gotta
Gotta go

Yeah-oh-oh!

If the dark is just a thought
Then the light is in your mind
The lies we tell ourselves
Will ruin the world with time

Did you feel the way I felt?
Did kneel the way I knelt?
Or did you look up and stare
Waiting for your acts of prayer?

Won't you listen to reason?
Will you open your eyes?
It's a wonder what you'll find
With an open mind
You might be surprised

Yeah!

Gotta get away from this illusion
For the sake of the world
This delusion
Has gotta
Gotta
Gotta go

Yeah-oh-oh

Gotta get away from this illusion
For the sake of the world
This delusion
Has gotta
Gotta
Gotta go

When is it enough?
When will we all wake up?
So look around
And see what's right before your eyes
No control beyond these skies

[Instrumental]

Gotta get away from this illusion
For the sake of the world
This delusion
Has gotta
Gotta
Gotta go

Yeah-oh-oh

Gotta get away from this illusion
For the sake of the world
This delusion
Has gotta
Gotta
Gotta go
