I remember on one night the kid cut off his right arm
 In a fit to save a bit of power
 He got fifty thousand watts
 In a big acoustic tower
 
 Security's so tight tonight
 Oh they're ready for a tussle
 Gotta keep your backstage passes
 Cause your promoter had the muscle
 
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
 
 In the tall buildings
 Sit the head of our nations
 Worthy men from Spain and Siam
 All day discussions with the Russians
 But they still went ahead
 And vetoed the plan
 
 Now up jumped the U.S. representative
 He's the one with the tired eyes
 747 for the midnight condition
 Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission?
 
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
 
 In the air there's absolution
 In the wake of a snaky Persian
 On his arm there's a skin tightvision
 Wonder why she admires she is hissin'
 
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
 And so it goes and so it goes
 And so it goes and so it goes
 But where it's goin' no one knows
