[Verse 1]
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 hired the muscle

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
In the tall building sit the head of all 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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
In the air there's after-shave lotion
In the wake of a snake-hipped Persian
On his arm there's a skin tight vision
Wonder why she ain't mine, she is his

[Chorus]
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
