Lyrics

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'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, ohh
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them, ohh
Said, "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?"
That's just the way it is, woo
Some things will never change, ohh
That's just the way it is, yeah
But don't you believe them, oh no
Yeah, 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
Because the law don't change another's mind
When it only sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
No no no, no-no-no-no, no
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them, no
And don't you believe them
Don't you believe them, no no, no
