The Next Song

Stand with the crowd in your biggest pose.
You hide it well but everybody knows you and
We watch just how you go along,
Easily led into battle by the first song.
Stalking your prey, single out the weak,
Beat them down because you're incomplete.
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours,
We've seen your image and your uniform before.

What are you trying to gain acceptance to,
I know your eyes and that sure isn't you.
We lost another, run for cover,
Cause the next to taste the street might be you.
So stop the show and turn on the house lights
So everyone can watch the pathetic man fight,
Because he feels that he's lesser
He acts like the aggressor to you.

I've seen your face in every town,
I've seen your face in every crowd.
Tell us why it is you gotta prove
Just how easily the others bruise.
So many of us and so few of you,
We know your motives and we're watching you.
We wouldn't miss you if you were gone,
Someone would take your place
At the beginning of the, at the beginning of the,
At the beginning of the next song.

Stand with the crowd in your biggest pose.
You hide it well but everybody knows you and
We watch just how you go along,
Easily led into battle by the first song.
Stalking your prey, single out the weak,
Beat them down because you're incomplete.
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours,
We've seen your image and your uniform before.

What are you trying to gain acceptance to,
I know your eyes and that sure isn't you.
We lost another, run for cover,
Cause the next to taste the street might be you.
So stop the show and turn on the house lights
So everyone can watch the pathetic man fight,
Because he feels that he's lesser
He acts like the aggressor to you.

I've seen your face in every town,
I've seen your face in every crowd.
Tell us why it is you gotta prove
Just how easily the others bruise.
So many of us and so few of you,
We know your motives and we're watching you.
We wouldn't miss you if you were gone,
Someone would take your place
At the beginning of the, at the beginning of the,
At the beginning of the next song.
