"It All Goes On" lyrics

To the businessman everybody needs to pay
To the pious man everybody ought to pray
To the gamblin' man everyone should play
All day

In a world of change someone has to take the lead
In an all-out war someone should expect to bleed
But we must be sure the actions fill the need
Indeed

And it all goes on
For the weak and the strong
For the king or pawn
It goes on
It goes on

And it all goes on
For the weak and the strong
For the right and the wrong
It goes on
It goes on

Every day someone's gonna come to you
Selling hopes and dreams, promising to get you through
And you'll soon wake up and nothing will be new
It's true

It all goes on
It all goes on
All goes on
