Billy Talent - How It Goes Lyrics






Everybody is tired and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on the 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 'til 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

Shitty 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 'til 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 doubts
Turn 'em into, turn 'em into doubts

So I hold my breath 'til 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

  1. T.... R....

    I just recently discovered this band about a month ago and it is now my overall fav band of all time and this band just keeps getting better after every song I hear, especially this one. BILLY TALENT ROCKS!!!🎸🤘🔥🖤🖤🖤

  2. �.... N....

    Fun album:)

  3. �.... �....

    2019)))

  4. S.... S....

    Just before Christmas month,”just listen to this every other before Christmas month lol,”I always listen to this,alright song,use it to hype myself up before Christmas time lol

  5. M.... C....

    putain de son comment ça déchire

  6. M.... ....

    Probably their best riff, although they have a lot of close contenders

  7. S.... L....

    Currently listening to: Billy Talent - This is How it Goes

  8. B.... P....

    A teeth clenching, tear backholding experience, this song, and I love it, I want to hear the rest, I want more of this in my life.

  9. j.... g....

    come back to mtl!!!!! from 4leaf!!

  10. L.... P....

    Лол, сегодня этой песне ровно 10 лет.

  11. C.... G....

    that moment, you search for a part of the song, and it's actually the correct name!

  12. V.... L....

    awesome music dudes🇵🇭🎧🤘🔪🔪🔪

  13. A.... F....

    2:38 MEOW

  14. S.... L....

    Billy talent: This is how it goes.
    Ray:The Fkcuing way she goes boys
    The way she goes.

  15. D.... P....

    I love songs where I hear different words in the same place. "This is the way (how?) it goes" / "This is the weight, it goes". Mark of a remarkable band is to play with sound and meaning like this (whether they're doing it consciously or not). Disturbed does this too

  16. H.... H....

    Funny how there isnt one negative comment

  17. P.... C....

    first through with these track was Ray from trailer park boys

  18. l.... 0....

    Guitar reminds me of dead Kennedys

    I love this

  20. M.... d....

    2:13 Ohhh yeahh

  21. J.... C....

    And still! I love this stuff!

  22. A.... K....

    Reminds me of playing counter strike

  23. E.... R....

    Used to listen this on the way to school everyday on my cd player. haha so nostalgic, it basically got me into music.

  24. D.... M....

    Dude , you can sell my body but you can’t sell my soul

  25. R.... T....

    I don’t mind if someone says to me ”God bless you” if they believe in one. I don’t believe but I don’t know what’s out there. I expect that one day all of me will be gone. One day everyone I ever saw will be gone forever. It does not make me too sad though. It is why every moment is precious and why we should not hate or hurt each other. Not because our God will damn us. But because each other is all we have. Don’t wait for afterlife - do the right thing and live right now.

  26. F.... F....

    Amo está música

  27. J.... H....

    You can sell my body but you cant sell my soulllll

  28. J.... L....
