The Way It Is - Various[00:00:00]
Standing in line marking time[00:00:18]
Waiting for the welfare dime[00:00:20]
'Cause they can't buy a job[00:00:23]
The man in the silk suit hurries by[00:00:26]
As he catches the poor ladies' eyes[00:00:28]
Just for fun he says "Get a job"[00:00:31]
That's just the way it is[00:00:38]
Some things will never change[00:00:42]
That's just the way it is[00:00:46]
Ah but don't you believe them[00:00:50]
Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go[00:01:00]
'Cause you don't look like they do[00:01:05]
Said hey old man how can you stand[00:01:09]
To think that way did you really think about it[00:01:12]
Before you made the rules [00:01:15]
He said "Son that's just the way it is[00:01:17]
Some things will never change[00:01:25]
That's just the way it is[00:01:29]
Ah but don't you believe them"[00:01:33]
That's just the way it is[00:02:04]
That's just the way it is[00:02:08]
Well they passed a law in '64[00:02:10]
To give those who ain't got a little more[00:02:12]
But it only goes so far[00:02:15]
Because the law don't change another's mind[00:02:18]
When all it sees at the hiring time[00:02:21]
Is the line on the color bar no[00:02:24]
That's just the way it is[00:02:30]
Some things will never change[00:02:34]
That's just the way it is[00:02:38]
That's just the way it is it is it is it is[00:02:42]
