Lyrics

Leaving these surroundings for the furthest place I know
to live each day with dignity and grace
gonna cut my hair and change the colour, change into a different name
the folks in my hometown would be amazed

I’ve always been an artist that no one understood
but soon i’ll have a major gallery
a new visionary, respected round the world
I’d never do it solely for the money

It’s my delusion, I suffer from delusion
sufferin’ delusion, I’ve got the self-deluding blues

They’ll sing my songs in Vegas and pay me royalties
but I won’t be fooled by the riches or the fame
I will always remain humble, down-to-earth, country-wise
the cameras will zoom in on my eyes

It’s my delusion, I suffer from delusion
sufferin’ delusion, I’ve got the self-deluding blues

Devote myself to helping through my philanthropy
cleanse this town of crime and poverty
and persuade those bloody warlords to embrace democracy
there is no better way to live than our way

I’m going to live in heaven for all eternity
with all the righteous members of my tribe
and when the rapture comes I’ll be among the chosen ones
forget about you sinners left behind

It’s my delusion, I suffer from delusion
sufferin’ delusion, I’ve got the self-deluding blues

Sufferin’ delusion
Sufferin’ delusion
Sufferin’ delusion
Sufferin’ delusion
Sufferin’ delusion
