Standing in line marking time
Wa iting for the welfare dime
'C ause t hey can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he c atches the poor old l adies' eyes
J ust for fun he says 'get a job'
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
They say hey little boy you can't go
Where the o thers go
'C ause you don't look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To t hink that way
Did you r eally 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
But don't you believe them
Well they passed a law in '64
To g ive those who ain't got a little more
B ut it o nly goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When a ll it sees at the h iring time
I s the l ine on the color bar
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
