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 acquire it with some krugerand
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
And that´s the way it goes

That´s the way it goes
That´s the way it goes
That´s the way it goes
That´s the way it goes
That´s the way it goes
