Great Expectations Lyrics - Brave New World - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung 

Lead vocals by dennis deyoung 

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
