you do everything right for all the wrong reasons 
and you use all the tricks of the trade 
From the tip of your toes to the tip of your tongue 
you've carefully planned your crusade 
It's all surface no substance, all payed in advance 
but you're the one paying the price 
and the only thing left will be a hole in your pocket 
when everyone else gets their slice/has been given their slice 


where are you now, what have you done 
what have you got left, what have you become 
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through 
your fingers and now look at what you've become 


The masterplan wasn't yours you were just the excuse 
To squeeze out some juice from the fruit 
and nobody cares about your personal life 
all you are is the latest recruit 
the sweet smell of success has a foul aftertaste 
and when you've lost your place in the sun 
what you won't do for you love you just do for money 
so you'd best take the money you can and then run 


where are you now, what have you done 
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through 
your fingers and now look at what you've become 
where are you now, what have you done 
what have you got left, what have you become 


there are no rules in the book that apply to the game 
the truth comes like a slap in the face 
And the next runner up gets a moment to shine 
in the spotlight once you've lost your place 
keep on wearing that suit for as long as it fits 
and pretend that it's not wearing you 
and while your busy being somebody you're not 
you're much better off not even having a clue
