And 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, yeah That's just the way it is That's just the way it is Well, they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more But it only goes so far 'Cause the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the light on the color bar, no 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.
