So It Goes Songtext
von Nick Lowe

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
Cause your promoter had the muscle

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

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 air there's after shave lotion
In the wake of a snake bitten Persian
On his arm there's a skin tight vision
Wonder why she admires she is hissin′

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
But where it′s goin' no one knows
But where it′s goin' no one knows
But where it's goin′ no one knows
