Myths and Illusions Lyrics by B.A. Robertson

Wringing Applause

1973

[Verse 1]
The man who sees the artists as a guardian of the truth
He must be blind
Because to me it's plain, it's simple
We adjust to what's around us all in time

[Verse 2]
And we'll work with any government
That gives us leave to be with our own kind
Free to make our contribution
Say what's better, say what's good for all mankind

[Refrain]
We're dealers in myths and illusions
Designed to steal your hearts away
We've no offer of a lasting solution, our contribution
To lighten your way
Brighten the day

[Verse 3]
The man who sees the artist as a bringer of some peace
He must bе insane
You see we have no powеrs to legislate
No government of ours could make the change

[Verse 4]
But we'll go along with whose in charge
If they let us be to seek out what is pure
See you all in the after life
We'll all be brothers there of, this I'm sure

[Outro]
Just dealers in myths and illusions
Designed to steal your hearts away
We've no offers of lasting solutions, our contribution
To lighten your way
Brighten the day
