The Way It Is lyrics

Standing in line

marking time,

waiting for

the welfare dime

'Cos they can't

find 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"

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

They say hey

little boy

you can't go

where the others go

'Cos 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

Well they passed

a law in 'sixty-four

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 colour bar

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

So happy to have discovered Lucky Voice. We'd never tried karaoke before, but this is so much fun! So many great songs and so easy to use. Love it!

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
