Warsaw - Novelty, Failure

 

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
