[00:00.00]The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby
[00:18.01]Standing in line marking time
[00:20.21]Waiting for the welfare dime
[00:22.60]
[00:23.37]'Cause they can't buy a job
[00:25.39]
[00:26.66]The man in the silk suit hurries by
[00:28.87]As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
[00:31.11]
[00:31.82]Just for fun he says"Get a job"
[00:35.89]
[00:38.03]That's just the way it is
[00:39.49]
[00:42.18]Some things will never change
[00:44.30]
[00:46.64]That's just the way it is
[00:48.23]
[00:50.67]Ah but don't you believe them
[00:54.25]
[01:00.86]Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go
[01:04.36]
[01:05.99]'Cause you don't look like they do
[01:08.43]
[01:09.53]Said hey old man how can you stand
[01:12.12]To think that way did you really think about it
[01:15.79]Before you made the rules
[01:17.96]He said"Son that's just the way it is
[01:22.59]
[01:25.24]Some things will never change
[01:27.26]
[01:29.70]That's just the way it is
[01:31.27]
[01:33.72]Ah but don't you believe them"
[01:37.71]
[02:04.50]That's just the way it is
[02:05.77]
[02:08.66]That's just the way it is
[02:10.30]Well they passed a law in '64
[02:12.55]To give those who ain't got a little more
[02:14.74]
[02:15.46]But it only goes so far
[02:17.66]
[02:18.59]Because the law don't change another's mind
[02:21.08]When all it sees at the hiring time
[02:23.33]
[02:24.05]Is the line on the color bar no
[02:28.64]
[02:30.22]That's just the way it is
[02:31.75]
[02:34.34]Some things will never change
[02:36.35]
[02:38.83]That's just the way it is
[02:40.48]
[02:42.00]That's just the way it is it is it is it is
