Songs Title：the way it is
Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
cause they cant 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
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
They say hey little boy you cant go
Where the others go
cause you dont 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
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
Well they passed a law in 64
To give those who aint got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law anothers mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
