Next Big Thing

What's the matter with the world today?
Let us ponder in a gentle way
Can heaven find a magic spell
(In this wishing well)
To take it all away

What's the matter with the mind of man?
Can we try to make a noble stand?
Can we try to make a go of things?
(Give the gift love brings)
With a gentle hand

Here I am with my head in my hands
As the world spins out of control
Barely able to hold it together
As the next futile thing unfolds
With all that free time somewhere behind me
Waiting in line to chase a dollar blindly
Waiting for the next big thing to fall

When did we become so insincere?
Overwrought with hate and fear
A little love for your fellow man in a promised land
Would get us in the clear
When did we become so discontent?
Was it just an accident?
A simple twist of fate
(A bit too late)
To save a swift descent

Here I am with my head in my hands
As the world spins out of control
Barely able to hold it together
As the next futile thing unfolds
With all that free time somewhere behind me
Waiting in line to chase a dollar blindly
Waiting for the next big thing to fall
Waiting for the next big thing to fall

Waiting for the next big thing to save the day
Waiting for the next big thing to watch it all fade away

What's the matter with your mind today?
Just another game we play
You see the world in black and white
(Wrong and right)
With many shades of grey
A little hope would do a world of good
In a world misunderstood
If you hold the line too tight
It might ignite
A little brotherhood

Here I am with my head in my hands
As the world spins out of control
Barely able to hold it together
As the next futile thing unfolds
With all that free time somewhere behind me
Waiting in line to chase a dollar blindly
Waiting for the next big thing to fall
Waiting for the next big thing to fall
Waiting for the next big thing to fall
