  • Ticket, please? Thanks, walk through the doors
    Into the Halls of Illusions, visit yours
    And see what could've and should've and woulda been real
    But you had to fuck up the whole deal
    Let's take a walk down the hallway
    It's a long way, it takes all day
    And when we get to the end, you'll find a chair
    With straps and chains, we slap you in there
    Lock you down tight, so ya can't move a thread
    And pull your eyelids up over your head
    'Cause you're about to witness an illusionary dream
    It's just too bad, it ain't what it seems
    You walk in and see two kids on the floor
    They're playin Nintendo and he's got the high score
    And sittin behind them, chillin' in the chair
    Is your wife, when ya look, oh, you ain't there
    It's some other man and they're hand in hand
    How she looks so happy, you don't understand
    See this is an illusion, it never came true
    All because of you

    Back to reality and what you're about
    Your wife can't smile 'cause you knocked her teeth out
    And she can't see straight from gettin' hit
    'Cause you're a fat fuckin' drunk piece of shit
    But it's all good here, come have a beer
    I'll break the top off it and shove it in your ear
    And your death comes wicked, painful, and slow
    At the hands of Milenko

    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into
    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into

    Look who's next, it's Mr. Clark
    The dirty old man from the trailer park
    You got your ticket? Thanks, take your coat off
    And later on, why not? I'll rip your throat off
    Let's take a walk down the hallway
    It's a long way, it takes all day
    And when you get to the end, you'll find a chair
    You see all the blood? Yeah, your boy was just here
    We get all different kinda people comin' through
    Richies, chickens, and bitches just like you
    In the halls, everybody gets a turn
    To sit and witness your illusion before you burn

    What do we have here? Oh yeah, no way
    It looks like your kids and they okay
    Your daughter's chillin' up at college, top grade
    And your son's a fuckin' doctor, phat paid
    They got families, and kids, and it's all good
    They even coach Little League in their neighborhood
    Is this true, have ya really seen the Holy Ghost?
    Nah, bitch not even close
    Back to reality, your son's on crack
    And your daughter's got nut stains on her back
    And they both fuckin' smell like shit
    And live in the gutter, and sell crack to each other
    When they were kids, you'd beat 'em and leave 'em home
    And even whip 'em with the cord on the telephone
    And that reminds me man, ayy, you got a call
    "Watch your step to hell, it's a long fall"

    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into
    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into

    Ah, it's time to pack up and move to the next town
    But we forgot Mr. Bigot, okay dig it
    We can't show you an illusion 'cause we're all packed
    But i'll still cut your neck out, how's that?

    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into
    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into
    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into
    Great Milenko, wave your wand
    Don't look now, your life is gone
    This is all because of you
    What you got yourself into Writer/s: Joseph Bruce, Joseph Utsler, Mike E. Clark

  • Simon from Indianapolis, InWow a place where ICP isn't discriminated every 4 seconds. I officially love this site. Whoop Whoop MCL to all yall
  • Marty from Tooele, UtIf anybody out there wants to get educated about what ICP speaks out against the most, LISTEN TO THIS SONG! I relate to it because it recites my true feelings. Wife beaters, rapists, child abusers--they all need to burn in a fiery hell set right under their abnormally small nutsack. WHOOP WHOOP MCL
  • Mike from Matawan, NjIt's good to see these fine, upstanding young men aren't just in it for the money...they're socially conscious as well. I'm waiting for the follow-up to this song about the dangers of un-protected sex or dropping out of Middle School.
  • Nathan Ritz from Marengo , Inhalls of illusions is a good song, JUGGALO 4 LIFE, yeah
  • Jonathan from Paoli, InI've never heard this song, but I think that Suicide Hotline is a great song to listen to.
  • Miztah J from Jacksonville, Flthers reasons it gets cancelled every time last time they came to jacksonville was for the shangri la tour i was lucky and got to go
    but the clubs in jacksonville see them as to much of a risk at bizzar bizzar tour juggalos ran up on stage pickd up one of the big faygo tubs and tossd it on a bouncers head and snapd his neck he didnt die then the last straw was the show i went to the club just had carpet and other new things put in icp sprays faygo at every show well the shangri la tour they used way more then they usaly do ther was 3 inchs deep of faygo on the floor and no club wants to risk some one getting hurt or every thing getting f--ked up
  • Raeface from Calgary, AbLove this songgg,
    Lette for life!
  • Bobbilyn from Jacksonville, FlWaitin for the Carnival. The newest album, the tempest is pretty good. Wish ICP would tour to my town every time they come it gets cancelled.
