Meat Puppets - That's How It Goes lyrics

Maybe you won't try to slap me for lying

I did what you heard and I can admit

That I'd do it again in a second tomorrow

Little or nothing makes much of a difference

So I took the chance not to bother with trifles

You mind your business and I'll pick the slack up

and you'll never notice how much I have borrowed

And we say, "That's how it goes,"

And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows

I took a long drink of some kind of water

That ate up my thoughts and dried up my conscience

I'd be the first to admit what my faults are

But change is a problem and I'll be resistant

Little or nowhere is closer than ever

And I got the feeling we're stuck till tomorrow

Carry on fishing and I'll keep my hat on

and together we'll see just how much we can borrow

And we say, "That's how it goes,"

And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows

Maybe you won't have to hit me again

Maybe you won't try to slap me for lying

I did what you heard and I can admit

That I'd do it again in a second tomorrow

Little or nothing makes much of a difference

So I took the chance not to bother with trifles

You mind your business and I'll pick the slack up

and you'll never notice how much I have borrowed

And we say, "That's how it goes,"

And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows

And we say, "That's how it goes,"

And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows
