Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

packaged like a rebel or a hero
target mass appeal
to make an audience feel
he really means it

package the illusion of persona
careful to conceal
the fact that she's only too real
she's got to screen it

hit you in a soft place
a melody so sweet
a strong and simple beat
that you can dance to

Watch his every move
SUPERCONDUCTOR
Orchestrate illusions
SUPERCONDUCTOR
Watch his every move
SUPERCONDUCTOR
Hoping you'll believe
Designing to deceive
That's entertainment

he can put a target on the market
bask in your applause
reality withdraws
now he believes it

the role becomes the actor
she's addicted to applause
the stage a world because
she never leaves it

hit you in a soft place
with sentimental ease
they know the fantasies
that you romance to

Watch her every move
SUPERCONDUCTOR
She can manipulate reactions
SUPERCONDUCTOR
Watch her every move
SUPERCONDUCTOR
Pin the donkeys on her tail
Fantasy for sale
That's entertainment...
