* Verse 1
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"
* Chorus
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
* Verse 2
THEY SAY HEY LITTLE BOY YOU CAN'T GO
WHERE THE OTHER GO
'CAUSE YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY DO
SAID HEY OLD MAN HOW CAN YOU STAND
TO THINK THAY WAY
DID YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT
BEFORE YOU MADE THE RULES
HE SAID, SON
* Repeat Chorus
* Verse 3
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
ANOTHERS MIND
WHEN ALL IT SEES AT THE HIRING TIME
IS THE LINE ON THE COLOR BAR
* Repeat Chorus
