Thats how it goes

My name is bailey its nice to meet you
and this is my song and i'll sing it for you
but singing ain't something i  usually do

Yeah, I am  Bailey and who are you?
i plan on living 'til this body's through
Got no cash and i don't got no clue

so light me a smoke and call me back home
this life ain't much fun when you live it alone
and when will it end? Nobody knows
Its not always fair but thats how it goes

Thats how it goes

In the year of 88 i was born and I found
the Smog in the trees and leaves on the ground
i knew right then that they'd all bring me down

When i got older all the men in the town
they'd see me drinking and all offer a frown
and they'd glare and they'd stare and make horrible sounds
and i'd get outta there after i finished my round

so light me a smoke and take me back home
this life ain't much fun when you're all on your own
and where will I end? Nobody knows
Its not always fair but thats how it goes
and what happens to people in their fancy clothes
they go back to places that nobody knows
and some of them die from unaccountable woes
its not always fair but thats how it goes
and i'm not always there where everyone goes
its not always fair but thats how it goes
