The Way It Goes

Every night Huddled, sleeping in the doorway I see them biding time Just to make it through one more day Don't you know; It's just the way it goes Don't you know; It's just the way it goes The TV screen Shows the men and boys on their way Another war of greed While wives and mothers stay home and pray 'Cause don't you know; it's just the way it goes Don't you know; It's just the way it goes Looking through this painted glass How long will this nightmare last Can you tell me what we're fighting for Fighting for Don't you know; It's just the way it goes Don't you know; It's just the way it goes I read the news Another day; another forest gone So many points of view How can we be sure of right from wrong Don't you know; It's just the way it goes Don't you know; It's just the way it goes
