So It Goes Songtext
von Fold

So long forever
Old fellows and gals
So long forever
Old sweethearts and pals
God bless ′em

Robert Kennedy
Whose summer home is 8 miles
From the home I live in all year round
Was shot 2 nights ago
He died last night
So it goes

Martin Luther King was shot a month ago
He died too
So it goes

So long forever
Old fellows and gals
So long forever
Old sweethearts and pals
God bless 'em


And every day
My government gives me a count
Of corpses created by military science in Vietnam
So it goes

My father died many years ago now
Of natural causes
So it goes
He was a sweet man
He was a gun nut too
He left me his guns
They rust

Eileen Aroon

So long forever
Old fellows and gals
So long forever
Old sweethearts and pals
God bless ′em


So it goes
So it goes
Eileen Aroon
Eileen Aroon
So it goes
Eileen Aroon
So it goes

So long forever
Old fellows and gals
So long forever
Old sweethearts and pals
God bless 'em

Everything is alright
And everybody has to do
Exactly what he does
