So It Goes

[Verse 1]

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm

In a bid to save a bit of power

He got fifty thousand watts

In a big acoustic tower

Security's so tight tonight

Oh, they're ready for a tussle

Gotta keep your backstage passes

'Cause your promoter hired the muscle

[Chorus]

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin', no one knows

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin', no one knows

[Verse 2]

In the tall building sit the head of all nations

Worthy men from Spain and Siam

All day discussions with the Russians

But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan

Now up jumped the U.S. representative

He's the one with the tired eyes

747 put him in that condition

Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission

[Chorus]

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin' no one knows

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin' no one knows

[Bridge]

In the air there's after-shave lotion

In the wake of a snake-hipped Persian

On his arm there's a skin tight vision

Wonder why she ain't mine, she is his

[Chorus]

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin' no one knows

And so it goes and so it goes

And so it goes and so it goes

But where it's goin' no one knows

But where it's goin' no one knows

But where it's goin' no one knows

But where it's goin' no one knows
