| We knew your reputation | |
| We thought that things could be different | |
| You just proved us wrong | |
| And now you're up to your same old tricks | |
| I guess we learned a lesson | |
| That people don't change overnight | |
| Things will work out well | |
| With a little hard work, it'll be alright | |
| How could we be so foolish | |
| To rush head first, without a thought | |
| Guess it goes to show | |
| If you're unprepared you will get caught | |
| But now we've learned a lesson | |
| A lesson which we won't forget | |
| With our newfound wisdom | |
| Things will work out in the end | |
| This is the way it is | |
| Not how things should be | |
| This is the way it is | |
| This is reality | |
| This is the way it is | |
| Not how things should be | |
| This is the way it is | |
| This is reality | |
| You seemed so sincere | |
| We'd work together, it'd be lot's of fun | |
| But all you saw was money | |
| It's not the issue 'til the music's done | |
| To you it's doing business | |
| To us it's doing what we love | |
| We'll just do our thing | |
| We won't give in for a buck | |
| This is the way it is | |
| Not how things should be | |
| This is the way it is | |
| This is reality | |
| This is the way it is | |
| Not how things should be | |
| This is the way it is | |
| This is reality | |
| Like a soul attaining heaven | |
| We must ascend to greater heights | |
| Got to make a change | |
| Got to make a change, the time is right | |
| Now I wish you well | |
| And thank you for what you've done for me | |
| To quote you Mr. Businessman | |
