The Way It IsThe Way It Is lyrics by Bruce Hornsby
Standing 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 ladies' 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
But don't you believe them
They say, "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
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
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
Because the law 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
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
