| Bruce Hornsby - The way it is@KMIDI KARAOKE FILE
Standing in line making time
Waiting for a 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
Somethings will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah but don't you believe them
They said "Hey little boy
You can't go where the other 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"
That's just the way it is
Somethings will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah But don't you believe them
Hum yeah
Well they passed a law in sixty four
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Cause the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the colour bar
That's just the way it is
Somethings will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
It is it is it is |
