Bruce Hornsby & the Range - The Way It Is

  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Standing in line marking time
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    Waiting for the welfare dime
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    'Cause they can't buy a job
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    The man in the silk suit hurries by
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
  • 1:03 - 1:09
    Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    That's just the way it is
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Some things will never change
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    That's just the way it is
  • 1:22 - 1:27
    Ah but don't you believe them
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    'Cause you don't look like they do
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    Said, hey old man how can you stand
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    To think that way, did you really think about it
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    Before you made the rules?
  • 1:50 - 1:55
    He said, "Son, that's just the way it is
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    Some things will never change
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    That's just the way it is
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    Ah but don't you believe them"
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    That's just the way it is
  • 3:07 - 3:08
    That's just the way it is
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    Well, they passed a law in '64
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    To give those who ain't got a little more
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    But it only goes so far
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Because the law don't change another's mind
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    When all it sees at the hiring time
  • 3:22 - 3:27
    Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    That's just the way it is
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    Some things will never change
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    That's just the way it is
  • 3:40 - 3:45
    That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
