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'
Cause' that's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ha! But don't you believe them
-lieve them [?x]
Ha! But don't you believe them
They said, 'Hey little boy you can't go
Where the others go
Cause you don't look like they do'
I 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'll never change
That's just the way it is [2x]
It is, it is, it is
That's just the way it is
It is, it is, it is
[3x]
