The Way It Is
Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
Cause they can buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies eyes
Just for fun he says: “get a job”
That’s just the way it is
Some things never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them
Said hey little boy
You can’t go where the others go
Cause you don’t look like they do
Said hey old man
How can you stand to think that way?
Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said…
That’s just the way it is
Some things never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them

They passed a law in ’64
To give those who aint got a little more
But it only goes so far
Cause the law don’t change another’s mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
But oh no…
That’s just the way it is
Some things never change
That’s just the way it is
Hmm, that’s just the way it is
