that St和way IT goes
Theres a man talking on the radio
What hes saying i dont really know
Seems hes lost some stocks and shares
Stops and stares
Hes afraid i know
Thats the way it goes
Theres a man talking of the promised land
Hell aquire it with some krugerrand
Subdivide and deal it out
Feel his clout
He can stoop so low
And thats the way it goes
Theres an actor who hopes to fit the bill
Sees a shining city on a hill
Step up close and see hes blind
Wined and dined
All he has is pose
And thats the way it goes
Theres a fire that burns away the lies
Manifesting in the spiritual eye
Though you wont understand the way i feel
You conceal, all there is to know
Thats the way it goes
