When the people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot 'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've got Can't rest on your laurels now - not when you've got none You'll find yourself in the gutter, right back where you came from
Someone told me being in the know is the main thing We all need the security that belonging brings Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds I don't want to act uncool like all the other sods
You slap our backs and pretend you knew About all the things that we were gonna do What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
You're all on your own now - don't you think that it's a shame But you're the only one responsible to take the blame When ya gonna grow up and act, and be yourself Cause pretty soon you'll find yourself nailed to the shelf Grab it while you can, but don't ever relax Cause there's always someone gonna stab your back What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
