Expectations

Cause it’s a hard knock life
In this dog eat dog world
We’ve got the cart before the horse
And the swine before the pearls.

Don’t be surprised if you fall in line
Expect your expectations to shift
Don’t be surprised if you change your mind
Expect your expectations to drift

We built a house of cards
On a long and winding road
We’re so hungry for princes
That we’re kissing every toad

Cause it’s a catch 22
And there’s no birds in the bush
Are we falling off the tightrope now
Or are we being pushed?

Don’t be surprised if you fall behind
Expect to be expecting the worst
Don’t be surprised if you lose your mind
Expect your expectations to burst
