Lyrics
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
You all just fall behind
Like all the other sods
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What you're gonna do?
What you're 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
So what you gonna do
When the novelty has gone?
Yeah what you gonna do
When the novelty is gone?
You slap our backs and pretend
You knew about all the things that we were gonna do
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it's over?
