That's How It Goes Lyrics - Forbidden Places - Meat Puppets

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 

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
