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 ...
