The Way It Is

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
Cause they cant 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'
[00:46.71][01:29.86][02:30.15][02:38.84]Thats just the way it is
[01:25.29]Some things will never change
Ah, but dont you believe them
Said, hey little boy you cant go where the others go
Cause you dont 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, 'son, thats just the way it is
Ah, but dont you believe them'
Well, they passed a law in 64
To give those who aint got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law dont change anothers mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar, no, no
And some things will never change
Thats just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
