How It Goes - Matthew Good

Of all the fake they say it takes to make it

Well, I don’t know, man

No matter how high you roll

You’ll always know you’re just the store brand

Pushing against the waves

Keelhaul years of the same program

Some of the faces change

But not the game, and not the tune

'Cause you know how it goes

Baby, these feet were made for walking away

So why don’t we use them?

Living in ditches is all well and good

When you get to choose 'em

I guess I could say it’s strange

But most of me knows who I ain’t fooling

So the excuses change

But not the game and not the tune

'Cause you know how it goes

Darling, don’t you worry

It’s not hard to find

Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere

Well, down on the corner they still talk about you

But say they don’t care

Baby you know I bruise

But being polite never got me nowhere

So it’s to you I move

Like stealing light and breathing fresh air

Some of my faces change

But not my name and not my tune

'Cause you know how it goes

Yeah, you know how it goes
