The Way It Goes

My business is not your business
I'm tapping out, I'm going clear
Sick and unwavering feelings
Spinning my head whenever you come near

And when you look down at me
Well you don't like what you see
You can't stand the thought
That I'm happy to be a freak
And there's people just like me
And they see what I see

There's greed in your veins
There's blow in your nose
It's just the way that it goes
You keep up the performance or they'll pick at your bones
It's just the way that it goes

Your business is not my business
Most of what you say I wish I didn't hear
Lying through your teeth again and again
You've given your life up to the fear

And when you look down at me
Well you don't like what you see
You can't stand the thought
That I'm happy to be a freak
And there's people just like me
And they see what I see

There's greed in your veins
There's blow in your nose
It's just the way that it goes
You keep up the performance or they'll pick at your bones
It's just the way that it goes

How do you do it with such ease?
Rinse people out and then repeat
You live this way it don't come cheap
The world is playing for keeps

There's greed in your veins
There's blow in your nose
It's just the way that it goes
You keep up the performance or they'll pick at your bones
It's just the way that it goes
