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
