So It Goes

I wrote about the speed of sound

The say that you made it to the end

You lived through prison,

You killed and wouldn’t forgive me

But I’m grateful to have known you as my friend

You’re not like me but so confused

You said I’m a lot like you

Oh so it goes,

Then tell me where, which way to blow

Oh so it goes,

Right into my fire

Oh so it goes,

Now I was feeling all alone

Oh so it goes,

So all the place on fire

Little sister used to ride her bicycle away

Smuggling machine guns underneath her skirt

And we used to hide her naff inside a bible

Side out in a airport, in case you need to start again

In ’45 at nurnberg, horrific words, injustices

You testified to set your gen a free

Unless you are you said

He was a decent guy

And I’m sure he would have done the same for me

You’re not like me but so confused

You said I’m a lot like you

Oh so it goes,

Then tell me where, which way to blow

Oh so it goes,

Right into my fire

Oh so it goes,

Now I was feeling all alone

Oh so it goes,

So all the place on fire

You can’t make peace without a enemy

You can’t be forgiven without sins

But I’m looking for all that’s gonna set us free

But first you must forgive the man you think

Oh so it goes,

Then tell me where, which way to blow

Oh so it goes,

Right into my fire

Oh so it goes,

Now I was feeling all alone

Oh so it goes,

So all the place on fire
