the way it is (live) - bruce hornsby & ricky skaggs lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, standin’ in line, markin’ time
waitin’ for the welfare dime
’cause they can’t buy a job
and 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”

[chorus]
that’s just the way it is
some things will never change
that’s just the way it is
oh, but don’t you believe them

[verse 2]
said, “hey, little boy, you can’t go where the others go
you don’t look like they do”
he said, “hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?
did you really think about it before you made thе rules?”
he said, “son”
[chorus]
that’s just the way it is
somе things will never change
that’s just the way it is
oh, but don’t you believe them
don’t you believe them, believe, believe
play it, ricky skaggs

[instrumental solo]

[verse 3]
so 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 can’t change another’s mind
when all it sees at the hirin’ time
is the line on the color bar

[chorus]
that’s just the way it is
some things will never change
that’s just the way it is
oh, but don’t you believe them
jimmy mills

[instrumental outro]
