Lyrics The Way It Is

Standing in line, markin' time waiting for the welfare dime 'cos they can't buy a job
Man in a silk suit hurries by as he catches the poor old lady's eyes 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 don't you believe them
Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go 'cos 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
But that's just the way it is some things will never change
That's just the way it is ah don't you believe them
Mmm yeah
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Well they passed a law in sixty-four to give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
'Cos the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
No
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
But that's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, it is, it is
