[Verse 1]
I've been chained to the ground
Then swept under the carpet
I've been mistreated for so long
But now they're done doing me wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
They fed my addiction
With brainwashing fiction
Now revolution's coming
I am breaking the chains
Leaving this prison I'm going my way

[Chorus]
Break the great delusion
Free your mind, the rules are refined
Break the great delusion
Or it will wear you down
It's the ultimate crime

[Verse 2]
Living as you've been told
Kept under control
Got you strung up like puppets
In the everyday show

[Pre-Chorus]
They feed your addiction
With brainwashing fiction
Now revolution is coming
Time to break the chains
Leave this prison and go your own way

[Chorus]
Break the great delusion
Free your mind, the rules are refined
Break the great delusion
Or it will wear you down
It's the ultimate crime
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Break the great delusion
Free your mind, the rules are refined
A social pollution
They'll wear you down
It's the ultimate crime
Break the great delusion
Defy the institution
A social pollution
A disease of the mind
It's the ultimate crime
