Bruce Hornsby And The Range – The Way It Is: Lyrics and Music Video
The Way It Is Lyrics
Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
‘Cause they can’t buy a job
The man in a 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
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
There’s the law don’t change another’s mind
When all I see in 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
