The Way It Is Lyrics & Tabs by Karen Souza
The Way It Is
guitar chords lyrics
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
Thats just the way it is
Some things never change
Thats just the way it is
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?
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
Thats just the way it is
Some things never change
Thats just the way it is
Ah, but dont 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 dont change anothers mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
But oh no
Thats just the way it is
Some things never change
Thats just the way it is
Hmm, thats just the way it is
