So It Goes

The sunny sky was smiling when the river turned to blood
The pantries full of frogs and all our nostrils full of bugs
With a boil on my thigh as clouds of locusts hid the sun
There must have been a "why" but I don't see a smoking gun

But so it goes, so it goes
And it might not help to know
But so it goes

Well the devil and the angels played a game to test the weak
The devil bet on reason and the angels bet on me
So now I'm naked as a newborn and I'm laden with disease
There might have been a "why" but I feel like their guinea pig

But so it goes, so it goes
And it might not help to know
But so it goes, so it goes
And in some way I'm not alone
And so it goes

While sweating in Gethsemane, I prayed one final prayer
To find the crack in everything, the truth within the dare
Now I'll take up this old cross to see just how much I can bear
There might not be a "why" but I don't know, I don't care

So it goes, so it goes
And it might not help to know
But so it goes, so it goes
And in some way I'm not alone
And so it goes
