Lyrics

Standing in line, mocking time
Waiting for the welfare time
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' 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
They say, "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, "That's just the way it is"
He said, "Some things will never change"
He said, "That's just the way it is"
He said, "Ah, but don't you believe them"
Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
There's a law that don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
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
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
