Meat Puppets - That's How It Goes lyrics

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
