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
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 he 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
