The Way It Goes Lyrics - Status Quo

Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy 

Everybody has to try 

Seeing and believing, never show the reason why 

Even when we grow up and our bodies slow up, no, no, no 

We think again but do we understand? 

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows 

That you can't survive if you ain't got drive 

Those velvet wings can't help you fly 

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by 

But you must carry on

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

People try and tell you anything they want to 

Saying that it's only fun 

When they got you looking down the barrel of a gun 

Never if we know it are we gonna blow it, no, no, no 

We think again and so we understand 

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows 

That you can't survive if you ain't got drive 

Those velvet wings can't help you fly 

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by 

But you must carry on 

I haven't told any secrets 

I swore not to tell any lies 

Something inside me is saying 

That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes 

Those velvet wings can't help you fly 

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by 

But you must carry on 

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows 

That you can't survive if you ain't got drive 

Those velvet wings can't help you fly 

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by 

But you must carry on 

Yeah, those velvet wings can't help you fly 

Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by 

But you must carry on
