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 old ladies’ eyes
Just for fun he says, “get a job”
That’s just the way it is
Some things’ll never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them
What it is Costing Me for What a Higher Education Institution Ought to Be Paying Me
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
Well, that’s just the way it is
Some things’ll never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them”
It is What I Have Been Saying: Tillich
Mm, yeah
Madness and Stupidity: Why is the Population Abandoning Cognitive Responsibility for Propaganda?
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, no, no
That’s just the way it is
And some things’ll never change
But that’s just the way it is
That’s just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
Right-On, David: Why do I not have the Job of the Under-Qualified and Over-Confident?
