It Goes Like This
If it goes like this
If it goes like this
If it goes like this
They'll listen
When I'm writing something new
I usually try to make it rhyme
When I write in black or blue
I try to give it some sort of time
(Chorus)
Give the people what they like,
Give them more and more and more of what they want
People are easily impressed by flash
People are impressed by flaunt
(Chorus)
From the cellars to the chimney tops
To the pyramids and rainbows
From diamonds and rubies
To manuscripts and movie shows
Arsenic and vanilla
To butterscotch and rose
(Chorus)
Don't ever let them know it's fake
Don't tell them that they're being used
Smoke and thunder for distraction's sake
Puppets on the board to lose
(Chorus)
