Jesus walked the water and Moses split the sea
And God, He watched them both and had them write it down for me
Galileo searched the heavens, Columbus sailed the sea
But no one had a camera, so we call it history 

That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story goes 
That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story is told

Henry had a problem, took wife after wife
Romeo just wanted one he couldn't stay alive
As Tarzan said to Cheetah with Jane on his knee
Sais this place is a jungle, but it 's Paradise to me

That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story goes 
That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story is told

What's truth, what's fact, God just let it go
'Cause one thing is for sure, baby we 'll never know

Elvis said to Brando, did you sing for me
Now you can stick around here and have a drink on me
On the way to heaven Elvis stumbled on a fan 
He said my name is Lennon, would you like to start a band? 

That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story goes 
That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story is told

That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story goes 
That 's just the way, that 's just the way the story is told
