Joy Division - Novelty [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
When the people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot
Because 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 going to do
What you going to do, what you going to 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 you going to grow up and act, and be yourself
Because pretty soon you'll find yourself nailed to the shelf
Grab it while you can, but don't ever relax
Because there's always someone going to stab your back
What you going to do, what you going to do when it's over?
