When things come
When things go
I don't mind
I just say "oh, is that so"

When things stop
When things start
When balls drop and friends drift apart
I just say, "oh"

It's not because I don't care
It's not because I'm unaware
It's not because it's good or bad
It's not because I think it's fair
It's just because I know
That that's the way things go
And always have gone

When I win
I get praised
When I lose
I get blamed
I just say, "oh"

I go up, I go up
I go down, I go down
I lose my money, my station, my reputation
And I
I just say "oh"

T's not because I don't care
It's not because I'm unaware
It's not because I'm in a trance
It's not because I think it's fair
It's just because I know
That that's the way things go
And always have gone

It's just because I know
That that's the way things go
And always have gone
