Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is - Live from Köln 2019 - NYC Epicenters lyrics

Artist: Bruce Hornsby

album: The Way It Is (Live from Köln 2019 - NYC Epicenters)


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"
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them
Said, "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"
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them
Yeah
(That's just the way it is)
(That's just the way it is)
Well, they passed a law in '64
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 color bar, no
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
