So you think that you got it all figured out
I told you, you got no clue what it is all about
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way

What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know
you never gave a fuck
You just cast me aside
What who where were when I needed you,
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride

I told you I know you as well as you think you do
I'll show you just how easy you are to see straight through

Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way

What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know
you never gave a fuck
You just cast me aside
What, who, where were when I needed you
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride

Nothing to me, you're nothing to me (repeats)

Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
