When the people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot?
Because 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 going to do
What you going to do?
What you going to 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 that's to blame
When you going to grow up and act, and be yourself?
Because pretty soon you'll find yourself nailed to the shelf

Grab it while you can, but don't ever relax
Because there's always someone going to stab your back
What you going to do?
What you going to do?
When it's over
