[00:50.270] Standing in line marking time
[00:52.380] Waiting for the welfare dime
[00:55.520] 'Cause they can't buy a job
[00:59.150] The man in the silk suit hurries by
[01:01.000] As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
[01:04.220] Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
[03:37.280] That's just the way it is
[03:32.620] Some things will never change
[01:22.950] Ah but don't you believe them
[01:33.310] Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
[01:38.740] 'Cause you don't look like they do
[01:41.950] Said, hey old man how can you stand to think that way
[01:46.120] Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
[01:50.520] He said, "Son, that's just the way it is
[02:06.120] Ah but don't you believe them"
[03:08.580] Well they passed a law in '64
[03:10.440] To give those who ain't got a little more
[03:13.840] But it only goes so far
[03:16.970] Because the law don't change another's mind
[03:19.360] When all it sees at the hiring time
[03:22.480] Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no
[03:40.350] That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
