The song details some of the music industry’s harsh, painful elements. Morrissey addresses the lyrics to “you,” which can be “you” the listener or, more specifically, someone new to the industry.

"Long may it last!"
Why don't you find out for yourself?
Then you'll see the glass hidden in the grass
Bad scenes come and go, for which you must allow
Sick down to my heart, that's just the way it goes
[Chorus 4]
Don't rake up my mistakes, I know exactly what they are
And what do you do, well, you just sit there
I've been stabbed in the back so many, many times
I don't have any skin, but that's just the way it goes
