[00:00.00]The Way It Is - Karen Souza (凯伦索萨)
[00:07.52]Lyrics by：Bruce Randall Hornsby
[00:15.05]Composed by：Bruce Randall Hornsby
[00:22.58]Standing in line marking time
[00:25.28]Waiting for the welfare dime
[00:29.15]'Cause they can't buy a job
[00:33.13]The man in the silk suit hurries by
[00:35.65]As he catches the poor ladies eyes
[00:39.75]Just for fun he says get a job
[00:47.40]That's just the way it is
[00:52.55]Some things will never change
[00:57.92]That's just the way it is
[01:03.14]Ah but don't you believe them
[01:15.43]Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go
[01:22.36]'Cause you don't look like they do
[01:26.49]Said hey old man how can you stand
[01:28.97]To think that way did you really think about it
[01:35.22]Before you made the rules
[01:37.09]He said son that's just the way it is
[01:45.92]Some things will never change
[01:51.29]That's just the way it is
[01:56.40]Ah but don't you believe them
[02:19.84]Well they passed a law in '64
[02:22.39]To give those who ain't got a little more
[02:26.34]But it only goes so far
[02:30.49]Because the law don't change another's mind
[02:32.99]When all it sees at the hiring time
[02:36.97]Is the line on the color bar but oh knows
[02:44.79]That's just the way it is
[02:49.71]Some things will never change
[02:55.24]That's just the way it is
[03:00.65]That's just the way it is
