"That's How It Goes"

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
