You expect a different circumstance
Every time you're given half a chance
But after all there's Newton's law
Which goes to prove all things must fall

Cross your fingers and your toes
Hope out loud for good results
What you get you never know
That's just the way things go

Remove all doubt in planning out
Knock the worst down for the count
Plaster a smile to your face
State your case then save the date

You never know what seeds will sow
Be it daisies or wild oats
Until it festers in its growth
That's just the way things go

That doesn't mean you lay it down
Pack your bags, get out of town
When you joined up were you not told
We all go through this, young and old

Otherwise we'd all be bored
On this rusty two edged sword
With one side sharp the other dull
That's just the way things go
