"The Way It Goes [Acoustic]" Lyrics

Why ay yay, why ay, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay, why ay, why ay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay

Where one man's from is another man's journey
Star shines late and the sun shines early
One man's straight and another man's curly
It's just the way it goes
One man's trash is another man's treasure
...
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
That's just the way it goes

Oh we'll never know no matter how we try
While we're born and we grow and we live and we die
For one man's truth is another man's lie
It's just the way it goes and I couldn't say

Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay

One's man cure is another man's poison
Snow falls white and the leaves fall golden
One man bought 'em and another man's sold them
That's just the way it goes
One man's few is another man plenty
One complains and another says thanksy
One man's few is another man's empty
That's just the way it goes

Oh we'll never know no matter how we try
While we're born and we grow and we live and we die
For one man's truth is another man's lie
It's just the way it goes and I couldn't say

Why ay yay why, why ay yay, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay why, why ay why, why ay yay
Why ay yay why, why ay why, why ay yay yay yay
Why ay yay yay, why ay yay, why ay yay

Oh we'll never know no matter how we try
While we're born and we go and we live and we die
One man's truth is another man's lie
It's just the way it goes and I couldn't say

Oh we'll never know no matter how we try
While we're born and we grow and we live and we die
For one man's truth is another man's lie
It's just the way it goes and I couldn't say
