《The Way It Is》歌词

[00:00:01] The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby

[00:00:50] Standing in line marking time

[00:00:52] Waiting for the welfare dime

[00:00:55] 'Cause they can't buy a job

[00:00:58] The man in the silk suit hurries by

[00:01:00] As he catches the poor ladies' eyes

[00:01:03] Just for fun he says "Get a job"

[00:01:09] That's just the way it is

[00:01:14] Some things will never change

[00:01:18] That's just the way it is

[00:01:22] Ah but don't you believe them

[00:01:32] Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go

[00:01:38] 'Cause you don't look like they do

[00:01:41] Said hey old man how can you stand

[00:01:43] To think that way did you really think about it

[00:01:47] Before you made the rules

[00:01:49] He said "Son that's just the way it is

[00:01:57] Some things will never change

[00:02:01] That's just the way it is

[00:02:05] Ah but don't you believe them"

[00:03:02] That's just the way it is

[00:03:06] That's just the way it is

[00:03:08] Well they passed a law in '64

[00:03:10] To give those who ain't got a little more

[00:03:13] But it only goes so far

[00:03:16] Because the law don't change another's mind

[00:03:18] When all it sees at the hiring time

[00:03:22] Is the line on the color bar no no no

[00:03:28] That's just the way it is

[00:03:32] Some things will never change

[00:03:36] That's just the way it is

[00:03:40] That's just the way it is it is it is it is
