[00:18.23] |
Standing in line, marking time |
[00:19.98] |
Waiting for the welfare dime |
[00:23.25] |
'Cause they can't buy a job |
[00:26.84] |
The man in the silk suit hurries by |
[00:28.42] |
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes |
[00:31.84] |
Just for fun he says, "get a job" |
[00:38.02][00:46.71][01:29.86][02:30.15][02:38.84] |
That's just the way it is |
[00:42.22][01:25.29] |
Some things will never change |
[00:50.63] |
Ah, but don't you believe them |
[01:00.93] |
Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go |
[01:06.47] |
'Cause you don't look like they do |
[01:09.63] |
Said, hey old man how can you stand to think that way |
[01:13.79] |
Did you really think about it before you made the rules? |
[01:18.25] |
He said, "son, that's just the way it is |
[01:33.84] |
Ah, but don't you believe them" |
[02:10.28] |
Well, they passed a law in '64 |
[02:12.13] |
To give those who ain't got a little more |
[02:15.44] |
But it only goes so far |
[02:18.67] |
Because the law don't change another's mind |
[02:21.00] |
When all it sees at the hiring time |
[02:24.16] |
Is the line on the color bar, no, no |
[02:34.31] |
And some things will never change |
[02:42.05] |
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is |
