Next Up

Lyrics

You're a nice guy, but something tells me you could be more Cause when you're the right guy, people trust you so much more I see myself in you, a slightly smaller reflection of me I'm tough on the outside, search for the spirit inside of me I'll share a little, I'm not what they say I am - I let them go on believing That I'm a jerk and a lofty soul or at least so I'm told But now that I'm leaving You're the next up, the next one in line to hold the power and control So don't mess up, don't look back in anger as you climb your pedestal Where did you come from? You've got the ladies in a trance With help from your brothers, you've learned to act and sing and dance The king of the farmers, look at you now, presidentially running the show Your passion alarms us so naturally you'll be running Kirby and Co And you're the next up, the next one in line to show the world what we can be So don't mess up, don't look back in anger, give the crowd what they want to see The time has come now for me to take my final bow They're looking for the next up, I hope that I have shown you how to be the leader, your friends and world around you need It's tough on the outside, but you've got the spirit that you need To be the next up, the next one in line to hit the stage and sing to the stars So don't mess up, don't look back in anger as you show us who you are And you're the next up, the next one in line to show the world what we all can be So don't mess up, don't look back in anger, give the crowd what they want to see And you're the next up, the next one in line to hold the power and control So don't mess up, don't look back in anger as you climb your pedestal
