[ti:the way it is]
[ar:bruce hornsby and the range]
[al:100 80's hits 5cd]
[offset:-100]
[00:50.27] Standing in line marking time
[00:52.38] Waiting for the welfare dime
[00:55.52] 'Cause they can't buy a job
[00:59.15] The man in the silk suit hurries by
[01:01.00] As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
[01:04.22] Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
[01:10.40][01:19.03][02:02.16][03:03.24][03:28.38][03:37.28] That's just the way it is
[01:14.59][01:57.60][03:32.62] Some things will never change
[01:22.95] Ah but don't you believe them
[01:33.31] Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
[01:38.74] 'Cause you don't look like they do
[01:41.95] Said, hey old man how can you stand to think that way
[01:46.12] Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
[01:50.52] He said, "Son, that's just the way it is
[02:06.12] Ah but don't you believe them"
[03:08.58] Well they passed a law in '64
[03:10.44] To give those who ain't got a little more
[03:13.84] But it only goes so far
[03:16.97] Because the law don't change another's mind
[03:19.36] When all it sees at the hiring time
[03:22.48] Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no
[03:40.35] That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
