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       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       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 and 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    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
