[00:50.27]	Standing in line marking time
[00:52.38]	Waiting for the welfare dime
[00:55.52]	'Cause they can't buy a job
[00:59.15]	The man in the silk suit hurries by
[01:01.00]	As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
[01:04.22]	Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
[01:10.40][01:19.03][02:02.16][03:03.24][03:28.38][03:37.28]	That's just the way it is
[01:14.59][01:57.60][03:32.62]	Some things will never change
[01:22.95]	Ah but don't you believe them
[01:33.31]	Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
[01:38.74]	'Cause you don't look like they do
[01:41.95]	Said, hey old man how can you stand to think that way
[01:46.12]	Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
[01:50.52]	He said, "Son, that's just the way it is
[02:06.12]	Ah but don't you believe them"
[03:08.58]	Well they passed a law in '64
[03:10.44]	To give those who ain't got a little more
[03:13.84]	But it only goes so far
[03:16.97]	Because the law don't change another's mind
[03:19.36]	When all it sees at the hiring time
[03:22.48]	Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no
[03:40.35]	That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
