When 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 a 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 all cool
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 on your own now
don't you think that's it’s a shame
But you're the only one responsible
that’s to 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
because there’s always someone
going to stab your back
what you gonna do
what you gonna do
when it’s over
Don't speak of same size
A failure of the modern man
To the center of all life's desires
As a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field
Break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel
He was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No no he can’t pick sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy
Tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch
Sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality
Broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race can see
In his way he was the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide
In his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no he can’t pick sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
All the failures of the modern man
