1
00:00:49,544 --> 00:00:51,679
Standing in line marking time

2
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:54,401
Waiting for the welfare dime


3
00:00:54,664 --> 00:00:57,521
'Cause they can't buy a job


4
00:00:58,154 --> 00:01:00,118
The man in the silk suit hurries by


5
00:01:00,376 --> 00:01:03,135
As he catches the poor ladies' eyes


6
00:01:03,395 --> 00:01:08,752
Just for fun he says, "Get a job"

7
00:01:09,708 --> 00:01:11,611
That's just the way it is

8
00:01:13,894 --> 00:01:16,586
Some things will never change

9
00:01:18,053 --> 00:01:20,476
That's just the way it is

10
00:01:22,444 --> 00:01:26,931
Ah but don't you believe them

11
00:01:32,734 --> 00:01:36,493
Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go

12
00:01:37,912 --> 00:01:40,740
'Cause you don't look like they do

13
00:01:41,224 --> 00:01:43,888
Said, hey old man how can you stand

14
00:01:44,129 --> 00:01:47,585
To think that way, did you really think about it

15
00:01:47,846 --> 00:01:50,137
Before you made the rules?

16
00:01:50,379 --> 00:01:55,187
He said, "Son, that's just the way it is

17
00:01:57,112 --> 00:01:59,873
Some things will never change

18
00:02:01,261 --> 00:02:04,198
That's just the way it is

19
00:02:05,558 --> 00:02:10,141
Ah but don't you believe them"

20
00:03:03,256 --> 00:03:04,661
That's just the way it is

21
00:03:06,902 --> 00:03:08,168
That's just the way it is

22
00:03:08,372 --> 00:03:09,972
Well, they passed a law in '64

23
00:03:10,234 --> 00:03:13,058
To give those who ain't got a little more

24
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,023
But it only goes so far

25
00:03:16,419 --> 00:03:18,817
Because the law don't change another's mind

26
00:03:19,075 --> 00:03:21,501
When all it sees at the hiring time

27
00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:27,239
Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no

28
00:03:27,973 --> 00:03:29,960
That's just the way it is

29
00:03:32,124 --> 00:03:34,920
Some things will never change

30
00:03:36,532 --> 00:03:39,227
That's just the way it is

31
00:03:40,248 --> 00:03:45,174
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
