Status Quo - The Way It Goes lyrics

Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy, everybody has to try

Seeing and believing, never show the reason why

Even when we grow up and the body slow up, no, no, no

We think again but do we understand?

And that's the way it goes

Oh, everybody knows

That you can't survive

Oh, if you ain't got drive

Those velvet wings can't help you fly

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by

But you must carry on

People try and tell you anything they want to, saying that it's only fun

When they got you looking down the barrel of a gun

Never if we know it are we gonna blow it, no, no, no

Oh, we think again and so we understand

That's the way it goes

Everybody knows

That you can't survive

Oh, if you ain't got drive

Those velvet wings can't help you fly

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by

But you must carry on

I haven't told any secrets

I swore not to tell any lies

Something inside me is saying

That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Those velvet wings can't help you fly

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by

But you must carry on

That's the way it goes

Oh, everybody knows

That you can't survive

Oh, if you ain't got drive

Those velvet wings can't help you fly

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by

But you must carry on

Those velvet wings can't help you fly

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by

But you must carry on
