[Verse 1]
Standin' in line, workin' time
Waitin' for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the zoot suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old lady's eyes
Just for fun, he says, "Get a job"
[Verse 2]
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
[Verse 3]
Said, "Hey, little boy, you can't go in
The others go 'cause you don't look like they do"
Said, "Hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?
And did you think about it before you made the rules?"
[Verse 4]
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
[Verse 5]
Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
'Cause the law don't change another's mind
When all they see's at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar now
[Verse 6]
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
