Vārdi: Caleb Hawley. The Way It Is.

Verse 1

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?

Chorus

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

Chorus

(Solo)

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 won?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

Some things will never change

That?s just the way it is

But don?t you believe them
