Hornsby Bruce The Way It Is Lyrics

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 the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the
poor ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says "get a job"
CHORUS
That's just
the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it
is
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
