What are you gonna do when the ink runs dry

What are you gonna do when there's nothing left to write

When there's nothing left to say when it's all been said

When the herd has followed and the sheep's been led

What are you gonna do when your ship has sailed

What are you gonna do when you've tried and failed

Now there's nothing left to do cause it's all been done

Originality is killed by the trendsetter's gun



Because heroes always fall and idols always fade

A new face, a new day

Winners always lose to wolf at bay

A new face, a new day



What are you gonna do when you're past your prime

When your trophy case is full of another lifetime

Now your steps are slow and your body is beat

And a new star is born on your television screen



Nothing new but another day



What are you gonna do with those wrinkles in the mirror

Will you hide your shame for your superficial peers

Do you still matter you know you never did

A lift and a tuck, a new reason to live
