Just the Way it Goes

Down to my last seed, down to my last penny
Things seems more sacred when your pockets are empty
Took what I could from this land of plenty
Call me lazy but girl I ain't your enemy
Drive to succeed... Man, my car ain't got those gears
While you’re running circles I'll be out on free drinkin’ beers
I'm addicted to the small things
Cause expectations ain't worth the burden that they bring

And I don't wanna cause no riot
I'm just looking for some peace of mind
They say you’re damned if you do
And if you don't, you're still damned
But everything works out in time
That’s just the way it goes
That’s just the way it goes
In the bottom of a bottle there’s an answer to all of this
That’s just the way it goes
In the back of my mind there’s a reason but I just can’t remember it

Down to the last minute, down to the last second
Still in the race but I lost my direction
Drinks inclusive with the price of admission
Stop the tape there’s a ringer in the session
Spin the dial tune out the conditions
Listen I just don’t exist in your brain dead existence

And I don't wanna cause no riot, riot, riot
And I don't wanna cause no riot
I'm just looking for some peace of mind
That’s just the way it goes
That’s just the way it goes
In the bottom of a bottle there’s an answer to all of this
That’s just the way it goes
In the back of my mind there’s a reason, but I just can’t remember it
That’s just the way it goes
That’s just the way it goes
