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 Writer/s: NICHOLAS ORAIN LOWE
