The Next Big Thing

from New Low Humans EP by Shoutin' Preachin'

lyrics

Better run, don't trip
he's got a steady hand on it
an everybody else is taking off like rockets
with a casual deadpan, keep one hand in the pocket
anybody in the way can't stop it

marching through with the cock-back-click
just to pop that shit, better run and get the fuck on quick
thousand-yard-stare kids all lighting the same wick
shoot the gift like a box of coal for split wigs

they say crazy always had a blank stare
late shift, all day - it's sick, they reading off of a script
all channels all access, got rights? all get rich
cash cow, coy killers that snap just to flip

dead employees in the break room been shot to shit
there's a rumour he was fucked in the head and sick
everybody at the vigil with the candles lit
feed the next big thing with the fucked up spin


the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
he's the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!


he's basically out to leave the whole place to waste
he'll kill them all in that way, with that look upon his face
he's space-y with an unmoved glare - at a casual pace
just enough to keep up with the chase

newscaster, ringmaster - got everybody all ears
furrowed brow down the lens, slow zoom in on the tears
capitalize on fear, legislate when the chance is near
exploit the whole bloody scene - get the crowd to cheer!

they want public disillusion 'cause they want you scared
they want you in the corner 'til you no longer care
dance around the truth - like they're fred astaire
erode your rights with the quiet sleight of hand, beware!

its that kind of systematic attitude, that makes a man crack
foot on the neck, while you're laying on your back
good employees don't trip, they don't slack, they go insane
wylin' out for a name, lone wolf out for fame!


the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
he's the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
the next big thing, make way for the next big thing!
