So It Goes

Remember on night the kid cut off his right arm

In a fit 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 had the muscle

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

In the tall buildings

Sit the head of our 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 for the midnight condition

Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission

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

In the air there's absolution

In the wake of a snaky Persian

On his arm there's a skin tight vision

Wonder why she admires she is hissin'

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
