[00:00:00] IT'S LIKE THAT - MC JOE & THE VANILLAS

[00:00:01] Written by：SIMMONS/SMITH/MC DANIELS

[00:00:01] Unemployment at a record high

[00:00:03] People coming people going people born to die

[00:00:06] Don't ask me because I don't know why

[00:00:09] But it's like that and that's the way it is

[00:00:13] People in the world trying to make ends meet

[00:00:16] You try to ride car train bus or feet

[00:00:19] I said you got to work hard you want to compete

[00:00:23] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:00:40] Money is the key to end all your woes

[00:00:44] Your ups your downs your highs and your lows

[00:00:47] Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes

[00:00:50] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:00:54] Bills rise higher every day

[00:00:57] We receive much lower pay

[00:01:00] I'd rather stay young go out and play

[00:01:03] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:01:07] Wars going on across the sea

[00:01:10] Street soldiers killing the elderly

[00:01:14] Whatever happened to unity

[00:01:17] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:01:21] Disillusion is the word

[00:01:24] That's used by me when I'm not heard

[00:01:27] I just go through life with my glasses blurred

[00:01:31] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:01:48] You can see a lot in this lifespan

[00:01:51] Like a bum eating out of a garbage can

[00:01:54] You noticed one time he was your man

[00:01:58] It's like that

[00:01:59] What

[00:01:59] And that's the way it is

[00:02:01] You should have gone to school you could've learned a trade

[00:02:04] But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid

[00:02:08] Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid

[00:02:11] It's like that

[00:02:12] What

[00:02:13] And that's the way it is

[00:02:18] It's like that

[00:02:26] And that's the way it is

[00:02:28] One thing I know is that life is short

[00:02:31] So listen up homeboy give this a thought

[00:02:35] The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught

[00:02:38] It's like that

[00:02:39] What

[00:02:40] And that's the way it is

[00:02:41] If you really think about it times aren't that bad

[00:02:45] The one that flexes with successes will make you glad

[00:02:48] Stop playing start praying you won't be sad

[00:02:51] It's like that

[00:02:53] What

[00:02:53] And that's the way it is

[00:02:55] When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts

[00:02:58] For a meaning in life is why you search

[00:03:02] Take the bus or the train drive to school or the church

[00:03:05] It's like that and that's the way it is

[00:03:09] Here's another point in life you should not miss

[00:03:12] Do not be a fool who's prejudiced

[00:03:15] Because we're all written down on the same list

[00:03:19] It's like that

[00:03:20] What

[00:03:20] And that's the way it is
