Ian Curtis - Novelty (Warsaw version) lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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?
