THE WAY IT IS ♪ 1986

That's just the way it is♪
Some things will never change♪


Bruce Hornsby and the Range

Bruce Hornsby is from Virginia.


Standing in a 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
That's just the way it is
Ah but don't you believe them

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?
He said, Son

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah but don't you believe them

That's the way it is
That's the way it is

Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far

'Cause the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line in the color bar
But who knows

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

mark time 進行しない・足踏みする・はかどらない、時間を稼ぐ、待機している
welfare n)福祉、nAE)生活保護
in a harry 急いでいる
catch one's eye  目が合う・視線が合う
