[offset:-100] |
| [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 |
