The Way It Is Lyrics

The Way It Is Standing in line, marking time Waitinf for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in a silt suuit hurries by As he catches a poor old lady's eye Just for fun he says 'Get a job' That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but dont you believe them Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go 'Cuz you don't look like they do Said hey old man How can you stand to think that way And did you really think about it before you made the rules He said, son That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but dont you believe them Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more But it only goes so far Because the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is That's just the way it is it is, it is, it is...
