There's a man talking on the radio<br>What he's saying I don't really know<br>Seems he's lost some stocks and shares<br>Stops and stares<br>He's afraid I know<br>That's the way it goes<br><br>There's a man talking of the promised land<br>He'll aquire it with some krugerrand<br>Subdivide and deal it out<br>Feel his clout<br>He can stoop so low<br>And that's the way it goes<br><br>There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill<br>Sees a shining city on a hill<br>Step up close and see he's blind<br>Wined and dined<br>All he has is pose<br>And that's the way it goes<br><br>There's a fire that burns away the lies<br>Manifesting in the spiritual eye<br>Though you won't understand the way I feel<br>You conceal, all there is to know<br>That's the way it goes
