There`s a man talking on the radio
What he`s saying I don`t really know
Seems he`s lost some stocks and shares
Stops and stares
He`s afraid I know
That`s the way it goes
There`s a man talking of the promised land
He`ll aquire it with some Krugerrand
Subdivide and deal it out
Feel his clout
He can stoop so low
And that`s the way it goes
There`s an actor who hopes to fit the bill
Sees a shining city on a hill
Step up close and see he`s blind
Wined and dined
All he has is pose
And that`s the way it goes
There`s a fire that burns away the lies
Manifesting in the spiritual eye
Though you won`t understand the way I feel
You conceal, all there is to know
That`s the way it goes
