So It Goes Lyrics

(Verse)
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

(Bridge)
You're not like me but so confused
You said I'm a lot like you

(Chorus)
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

(Verse)
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

(Verse)
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

(Bridge)
You're not like me but so confused
You said I'm a lot like you

(Chorus)
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

(Verse)
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

(Chorus x2)
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
