Smallville movie - The Way It Is lyrics

rate me

Song by Bruce Hornsby<br /><br>

Standing in line marking time- <br>

Waiting for the welfare dime <br>

'Cause they can't buy a job <br>

The man in the silk suit hurries by <br>

As he catches the poor ladies' eyes <br>

Just for fun he says "get a job" <br>

<br>

CHORUS <br>

That's just the way it is <br>

Some things will never change <br>

That's just the way it is <br>

But don't you believe them <br>

<br>

They say he little boy you can't go <br>

Where the others go <br>

'Cause you don't look like they do <br>

Said hey old man how can you stand <br>

To think that way <br>

Did you really think about it <br>

Before you made the rules <br>

He said, Son <br>

<br>

CHORUS <br>

<br>

Well they passed a law in '64 <br>

To give those who ain't got a little more <br>

But it only goes so far <br>

Because the law don't change another's mind <br>

When all it sees at the hiring time <br>

Is the line on the color bar <br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>
