Lyrics

"Illusion of Control"
(Lyrics: M. Novak. D. Wyant - Music: M. Novak)

We think we have control but it’s an illusion
The universe doesn’t abide by our plans
Conflicting perceptions add to the confusion
We learn most rules are out of our hands

We go to our jobs thinking we have some power
Then the boss shows up and dictates what we do
Our suggestions ignored anger grows by the hour
The one in charge truly has no clue

CHORUS:
The Illusion of Control - is always there
The Illusion of Control - just beware
The Illusion of Control - gets you nowhere
The Illusion of Control - can bring about despair

Partners and friends always come and go
Many factors make or break the decision
Will they stop us from reaching our goal
Can we ignore them to achieve our vision

CHORUS:

The Illusion of Control

We elect people to champion our cause
But money and power have a different plan
The greedy and corrupt just ignore the laws
Is there no control left for the common man

Control’s an illusion when it comes to emotions
Anger and peace can’t share the same space
One will bring calm the other dark notions
What will it take to attain at the right place

CHORUS:
