That's The Way It Goes

There's a man talking on the radio

What he's saying, I don't really know

Seems he's lost some stocks and shares

Stops and stares, he's afraid I know

That's the way it goes

There's a man talking of the Promised Land

He'll acquire it with some krugerand

Subdivide and deal it out

Feel his clout, he can stoop so low

And that's the way it goes

There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill

Sees a shining city on a hill

Step up close and see he's blind

Wined and dined, all he has is pose

And that's the way it goes

There's a fire that burns away the lies

Manifesting in the spiritual eye

Though you won't understand the way I feel

You conceal, all there is to know

And that's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes
