| 作词 : Hornsby | |
| 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 | |
| Because 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 |
