And So It Goes
You wake up, roll over to your alarm clock's screaming bray
'cause it rings at 6:55AM almost every day
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
Work all your life, be a corpse
Rat race: Corpse
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
Get up, look at your ceiling which is someone else's floor
Just a quick shit-shower-shave, you're running out the door
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
And so it goes
And so it goes
Work all your life and be a corpse and that's the way it goes
And goes, and goes....and so it goes
And that's the fucking way it goes
Off to your job where you work two thousand hours a year
Keep it up for forty years and watch your life disappear
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
Add in all those hours that you'll need to spend asleep
Two thirds of your life is wasted, buddy - life is fuckin' cheap
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
Rot and decay, American dream
And so it goes
And so it goes
And so it goes
Work all your life and be a corpse
And that's the way it goes
And goes, and goes....and so it goes
And that's the fucking way it goes and goes
And so it goes
