Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime...
Cause they can't find 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
That's just the way it is,
But don't you believe them

They say, 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?
He said, "son,"

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

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 all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar

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
