The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby
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 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
Ha but don't you believe them

They say he 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
Ha but don't you believe them

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
That's just the way it is
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
