Everybody will be watching |
|
Just to see what can you do |
|
They'll be waiting, anticipating |
|
For the genius to come through |
|
So raise the bar up |
|
A little higher |
|
They expect so much of you |
|
Feel the madness accelerating |
|
Cause you feel the same way too |
|
Great, great, great expectations |
|
Everybody's masturbating |
|
Wondering what you're gonna do |
|
And all the doctors are contemplating |
|
Can the smart ass still pull through |
|
Mister big shot |
|
With all the answers |
|
One more time through the hoop for you |
|
Light a fire |
|
To the whole thing |
|
Feel the flame as you go through |
|
Great, great, great expectations |
|
Did you think that your ambition |
|
Would ever end up in remission |
|
Did ya |
|
Now did ya |
|
Did you think your sacrifices |
|
Would turn your dreams into your vices |
|
Now did ya |
|
How could ya |
|
All the cynics & the ciphers |
|
Make you question what you do |
|
So turn your amp up a little louder |
|
To drown out that void in you |
|
While the mantra keeps repeating |
|
There are dreams you must pursue |
|
If you just try a little harder |
|
There ain't nothing you can't do |
|
Great, great, great expectations |
