The Way It Is (Solo Piano Intro [Live])
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 lady's 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That's just the way it is Ah, but don't you believe them Yeah
That's just the way it is That's just the way it is 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 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
