So It Goes Lyrics & Chords By Nick Lowe

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm
In a bid to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
Security's so tight tonight
Oh they're ready for a tussle
Gotta keep your backstage passes
That your promoter had to muscle
　
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
　
In the tall building
sit the head of our nations
Worthy men from Spain and Siam
All day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead
and vetoed the plan
Now up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 put him in that condition
Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission
　
In the air there's after shave lotion
in the wake of a snake-hipped Persian
On his arm there's a skin tight vision
Wonder why she ain't mine she's his'n
　
But where it's goin' no one knows
