How Can You Expect To Be Lyrics

You live upon a stage

And everyone agrees

You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see

So when you take the limelight you can guarantee

You're getting fame and claiming credibility

Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite?

Tell me baby are gonna let it happen every night?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously?

You live within the law and everyone assumes

You must find this a bore and try something new

You're an intellectual giant and authority

To preach and teach the whole world about ecology

Tell me baby are you gonna make any other claim?

Tell me baby are you gonna take any of the blame?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously? (Seriously)

(Seriously)

You live within the headlines so everyone can see

You're supporting every new cause even royalty

You're another major artist on a higher plane

Do you think they'll put you the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Tell me baby how to generate longevity

Tell me baby how you really hate publicity

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously? (Seriously)

Seriously

Oh ...

Do you have a message for your fans?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously?

How can you expect to be taken

Seriously? (Seriously)

Seriously (Seriously)

Seriously

Oh ... seriously
