So It Goes

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm

In a bid 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

That your promoter had to muscle

　

R :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 building

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 put him in that condition

Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission

　

In the air there's after shave lotion

in the wake of a snake-hipped Persian

On his arm there's a skin tight vision

Wonder why she ain't mine she's his'n

　

But where it's goin' no one knows
