Everybody's doin' what everybody's doin' Same old thing going down all the time Waiting for messiahs, waiting for the changes to show me the way to die
Everybody's sayin' what everybody's sayin' Prime-time grapevine is still in control Eight years to '84, no wonder everybody's so afraid of growin' old
What's gonna happen now What's gonna happen now Are we gonna carry on somehow What's gonna happen now
Everybody's tryin' what everybody's cryin' New friends are old friends, it's just day two It's tragic magic but it beats being nowhere With nothin' left to do
Everybody's doin' what everybody's doin' Prime-time grapevine is still in control Eight years to '84, no wonder everybody's so afraid of growin' old
What's gonna happen now What's gonna happen now Are we gonna carry on somehow What's gonna happen now ...
