(intro) and things like that at one point you just kinda compromise with that
Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't find 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"
(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
(verse 2)
They say 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
(chorus)
(piano solo)
(verse 3)
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
(final chorus) Same chords
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Thats just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
(outro)
thats how it sounded for me if you have any corrections be free to tell :P
