Hollerado - So It Goes lyrics

I wrote about the speed of sound
On the day you made it to the end
You lived through prison
You killed and were forgiven
But, I'm grateful to have known
You as my friend

Your life left me so confused
You said "I'm a lot like you"

Oh so it goes
Can't tell the wind which way to blow
Oh so it goes, Rotterdam on fire
Oh so it goes
You're always sort of all alone
Oh so it goes, some Other Place on fire

Little Sister used to ride
Her bicycle to work
Smuggling machine guns underneath
Her skirt and
You used to hide a knife inside a bible
Cyanide in an apple
In case you need to start again

In 45' at Nuremberg
Horrific words and justice served
But, you testified to set your jailor free
I asked you why
You said "he was a decent guy
And I'm sure he would have
Done the same for me"

Your life left me so confused
You said "I'm a lot like you"

Oh so it goes
Can't tell the wind which way to blow
Oh so it goes, Rotterdam on fire
Oh so it goes
You're always sort of all alone
Oh so it goes, some Other Place on fire

You can't make peace without an enemy
You can't be forgiven without sin
We're all looking for a love
That's gonna set us free
But first you must forgive
The man you've been

Oh so it goes
Can't tell the wind which way to blow
Oh so it goes, Rotterdam on fire
Oh so it goes
You're always sort of all alone
Oh so it goes, some Other Place on fire
Oh so it goes
Can't tell the wind which way to blow
Oh so it goes, Rotterdam on fire
Oh so it goes
You're always sort of all alone
Oh so it goes, another place on fire
