The Way It Is - Jimmy Bondoc
Written by : Bruce Hornsby
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Standin' in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the 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'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ha but don't you believe them
That's just the way it is
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 son
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Ha but don't you believe them
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Well they passed a law in 64
To give those who ain't 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
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
That's just they way it is
Don't you believe this
That's just the way it is
