Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't 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
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah but don't you believe them
Said hey little boy you can't go
where the others go
'Cause you don't 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
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah but don't you believe them
Oh yeah

well they passed a law in '64
To give those
who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law
don't change another's mind
When all it sees
at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
no no
That's just the way it is
And some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
it is it is it is
