Joy Division:Novelty

When people listen to you dont you know it means alot,
cuz you gotta work so hard for everything you've got,
cant rest on your laurels now,
not when you 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 alone on these times,
Against all the odds,
you'll just fall behind like all the other sods.

You slap our backs and pretend you knew about,
all the things we were gonna do.
what ya gonna do,
what ya gonna do,
when its over?

You're on your own now dont you think that its a shame?
but youre the one responsible to take the blame?
so what ya gonna do when the novelty is gone?
Yeah what ya gonna do when the novelty is gone?

You slap our backs and pretend you know about,
all the things that we were gonna do
what ya gonna do,
what ya gonna do,
when it's over?
