Current song lyrics
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 old ladies' eyes<br />Just for fun he says: "Get a job"<br /><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 hey 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 />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 />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 />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
