This Is How It Goes Lyrics

Performed by Billy Talent

Everybody is tired, and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on a corner, will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

S**ty weather, bad timing, lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger,
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it...

This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!

So unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into
Turn into doubts!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

freakin awsome | Reviewer: Creepers | 10/27/09

Billy Talent is a better band best to listin to live. I would much rather listin to "666" over the studio. They are a live band and I love watching them perform they are awsome... We need to get them more recognition in the states though

This is How it Goes - Live | Reviewer: Fred Beitler | 11/27/07

When you hear a song on CD, it sometimes sounds better on the disk than when the artist performs it in concert.

I saw Billy Talent at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, MI, and the song This is How it Goes is actually better live than on the CD! Of course I am not saying that the CD version is crud! The audience participation was huge and Ben's interaction with the audience was classic!!

2 versions | Reviewer: bre | 10/21/07

Personally, I prefer every one of the album versions to the alternate versions. I know that there are 2 versions for This is how it goes, cut the curtains, living in the shadows,and try honesty.Think that's it but I could be wrong. The album versions sound less altered, which you'd think would be worse because it'd sound more off key, but in fact it is the opposite. It makes a huge difference. I love Billy Talent either way though. P.S. I like how Andrea spelled retarded "retarted" haha... irony. It's okay we all have our moments.
