[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - It's A Trap lyrics]
Now then the question arises
Who's deceiving who? Who's fooling who?
I'm fooling me? What is fooling?
Now then the question arises
Who's deceiving who? Who's fooling who?
I'm fooling me what is fooling?
Fooling is playing like you're
There when you're not
You know getting someone else to answer
Your name in the role call
So, we're all this is the
Metaphysical basis of it
This is what the Hindu's mean by māyā
The world-illusion
The world is playing it’s there when it isn’t
And it's a trap and it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it and it's a trap
And it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it
And it's a thorough big trap too
But always when you get an idea like this
Or a feeling like this
Follow it to it's extreme
Don't back out from it
If you find your selfish
Go to the extreme of what selfishness means
Confusion largely results
From not following feelings or
Ideas to their depth you know
People think they want to be immortal
They'd like to live forever
Do you really want to do that?
Think about it, really go into it
What it would be like
People say they want this, that
And the other they want this kind of car
They want this kind of dress
This much money and so on
It's always a good idea to
Think it right through
What it would involve to be in that
Situation and to have those desires fulfilled
It's a trap and it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it it's a trap
And it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it it's a trap
And it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it it's a trap
And it sucks you in
And you can't get out of it
Also when you form a
Relationship to another person
Think it through too you see?
How inconvenient could they be?
However attractive
Always turn the embroidery around
And look at the underside
But don't get caught doing it
See, that's something one does on the side
In secret 'Cause otherwise you play the
Game that everything is
As it's supposed to be on the front
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
And that makes you humorous
And that makes you human
Who's deceiving who? Who's fooling who?
I'm fooling me? What is fooling?
Now then the question arises
Who's deceiving who? Who's fooling who?
I'm fooling me what is fooling?
Fooling is playing like you're
There when you're not
You know getting someone else to answer

So, we're all this is the
