[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
