Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Joy Division or about the 1980s in general.
When the people listen to you, don’t you know it means a lot
‘Cause 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
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
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it’s over?
You’re all on your own now – don’t you think that it’s a shame
But you’re the only one responsible to take the blame
When ya gonna grow up and act, and be yourself
Cause pretty soon you’ll find yourself nailed to the shelf
Grab it while you can, but don’t ever relax
Cause there’s always someone gonna stab your back
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it’s over?
