Styx - Great Expectations Lyrics
Written by dennis deyoungLead vocals by dennis deyoungEverybody will be watchingJust to see what can you doTheyll be waiting, anticipatingFor the genius to come throughSo raise the bar upA little higherThey expect so much of youFeel the madness acceleratingCause you feel the same way tooGreat, great, great expectationsEverybodys masturbatingWondering what youre gonna doAnd all the doctors are contemplatingCan the smart ass still pull throughMister big shotWith all the answersOne more time through the hoop for youLight a fireTo the whole thingFeel the flame as you go throughGreat, great, great expectationsDid you think that your ambitionWould ever end up in remissionDid yaNow did yaDid you think your sacrificesWould turn your dreams into your vicesNow did yaHow could yaAll the cynics & the ciphersMake you question what you doSo turn your amp up a little louderTo drown out that void in youWhile the mantra keeps repeatingThere are dreams you must pursueIf you just try a little harderThere aint nothing you cant doGreat, great, great expectations
