That's How It Goes

Ding dong, you've got that wrong
And now there's hell to pay.
It's hard to get it right some days.
Your directions were incorrect
And now your reputation is suspect.
Bang smash, you've had a crash with reality,
Embarrasment is plain to see.
Be sure to pack a parachute
Next time your expectations overshoot.
That's how it goes. Nobody knows.
Just what the future holds is difficult to say.
That's how it is. The plan is his.
And you've been scripted like an actor in a play.
I'm afraid the sign you made
Failed to point the way.
I'm sure you'll get it right some day.
Next time you choose to give advice
Please make a resolution to think twice.
That's how it goes. Nobody knows.
Just what the future holds is difficult to say.
That's how it is. The plan is His.
And you've been scripted like an actor in a play.
