Standing in line marking time--Waiting for the welfare dime'Cause they can't buy a jobThe man in the silk suit hurries byAs he catches the poor old ladies' eyesJust for fun he says "Get a job"That's just the way it isSome things will never changeThat's just the way it isBut don't you believe themThey say hey little boy you can't goWhere the others go'Cause you don't look like they doSaid hey old man how can you standTo think that wayDid you really think about itBefore you made the rulesHe said, SonThat's just the way it isSome things will never changeThat's just the way it isBut don't you believe themSongtexteWell they passed a law in '64To give those who ain't got a little moreBut it only goes so farBecause the law another's mindWhen all it sees at the hiring timeIs the line on the color barThat's just the way it isSome things will never changeThat's just the way it isBut don't you believe them Aus Songtexte Mania
