The way it is

INTRO: Am Em D C G D C9
Am                  Em
Standing in line marking time
D                  C
Waiting for the welfare dime
G           D                     C9
  'Cause they can't buy a job
   Am                     Em
a man in a silk suit hurries by
D                         C
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
G             D         C9
   Just for fun he says "Get a job"
G F C9
That's just the way it is
G F C9
Some things will never change
G F C9
That's just the way it is
G F C9
Ah - But don't you believe them
Am Em D C G D C9
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
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
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 in another's mind
When all it sees is the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
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 ,it is ,it is,it is
