Great Expectations

Styx


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
