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
Ah but don’t you believe them
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
Some things will never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah but don’t you believe them
Yeah
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
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…
That’s just the way it is
The way it is
That’s just the way it is
