"The Next Song" lyrics

Stand in the crowd with 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
And beat them down because you're incomplete
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours
We've seen your image and you're 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 see a pathetic man fight
Because he feels he lesser
He acts like the aggressor to you

I've see your face in every town
I've see your face in every crowd
Tell us why it is you have to prove
Just how easily the others bruise

So many of us and so few of you
We know your motives and were watching you
We wouldn't miss you of you were gone
Someone would take your place at the beginning, at the beginning, at the beginning of the next song

Stand in the crowd with 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
And beat them down because you're incomplete
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours
We've seen your image and you're 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 see a pathetic man fight
Because he feels he lesser
He acts like the aggressor to you

I've see your face in every town
I've see your face in every crowd
Tell us why it is you have to prove
Just how easily the others bruise

So many of us and so few of you
We know your motives and were watching you
We wouldn't miss you of you were gone
Someone would take your place at the beginning, at the beginning, at the beginning of the next song
