The Way Iii? lls

Made Famous Ban
BRUCE HORNSBY 84THE RANGE

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
Introduction
Standing in line,

marking time, waiting
for the welfare dime
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
Ha, 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
Some things will

never change
That's just

the way it is
Ha, but don't you

believe them
Instrumental
El El El El El
Well they passed a law
in '64, to give those who

ain't got, a little more
but it only goes so far
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 colour bar, oh-no
That's just

the way it is
That's just the way

it is-it is-it is-it is
