Lyric That s The Way It Goes

There s a man talking on the radio
What he s saying I don t really know
Seems he s lost some stocks and shares
Stops and stares
He s afraid I know
That s the way it goes

There s a man talking of the promised land
He ll aquire it with some Krugerrand
Subdivide and deal it out
Feel his clout
He can stoop so low
And that s the way it goes

There s an actor who hopes to fit the bill
Sees a shining city on a hill
Step up close and see he s blind
Wined and dined
All he has is pose
And that s the way it goes

There s a fire that burns away the lies
Manifesting in the spiritual eye
Though you won t understand the way I feel
You conceal, all there is to know
That s the way it goes
