[Comment:  Just sit back and relax.  They're takin' care of everything! (wink wink) ]

(Chorus)
You don't have to worry
About what you can't see
Stay where you wanna stay
Don't dig too deep
We work at it every day
To keep it alive
The illusion alive

Believe everything's A-O-K
There's nowhere to go
It's better to stay that way
You don't need to know
Until you hear otherwise
The illusion's alive
The illusion's alive

Don't ruminate, agitate
We won't have a clue
It's politics anyway
It's not about you

You may prefer apathy
If nothing's at stake
It's a philosophy
You won't stay awake

(Modified Chorus)

They'll do what they want to do
So why fight the tide
The truth isn't always true
The secret denied

Some folks like activity
They find that it helps
It's a philosophy
To look somewhere else
