So It Goes

So It Goes

Capo 2


Hope is a gun,
                     
That you load every day,

As it s chamber is spun,
           
You bite down on the steel,
          
And you pray.

                                            
So it goes,          we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                                                
So it goes,          we re condemned to repeat and to fade.


Love is a bomb,
                    
That can keep you in place,

Can keep you alone,
                      
Or just go off in your face.

                                            
So it goes,          we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                                               
So it goes,          we re condemned to repeat and to fade,
                                         
So it goes,          it s a curious way to prevail,
                                             
So it goes,          we re perpetually chasing our tails.


                     
Leave your logic behind,
                     
Put it out of your mind,
                                
That s not how we do things round here,
                  
It couldn t be easier,
                  
This splendid amnesia,

Oh we must not forget,
                          
To forget, to forget, to forget.


Hope is a gun,
                     
That you load every day,

As it s chamber is spun,
           
You bite down on the steel,
          
And you pray..


                                            
So it goes,          we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                                               
So it goes,          we re condemned to repeat and to fade,
                                         
So it goes,          it s a curious way to prevail,
                                             
So it goes,          we re perpetually chasing our tails
