So It Goes Paroles

Gotta keep your backstage passes,
'cause the promoter had the muscle.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

In the tall buildings sit the head of armed nations,
worthy men from Spain and Siam.
All day discussions with the Russians flying back for my peacekeeper mission.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

And in the air, there's after shave lotion
in the wake of a snaky Persian.
On his arm is a skintight vision,
wonder why she ain't mine, she's his.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

And so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
and so it goes,
but where it's going,
no one knows.

But where it's going,
no one knows.
