[Verse 1]
Am7              Em7
Standing in line marking time
D               Cadd9
Waiting for the welfare dime
G        D                Cadd9
  'Cause they can't buy a job
    Am7                  Em7
The man in the silk suit hurries by
      D                    Cadd9
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
G          D          Cadd9
  Just for fun he says "get a job"
 
[Chorus]
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C                  Cadd9
             Some things will never change
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C         Cadd9
             Ah, but don't you believe them
 
|Am7  Em7  |D  Cadd9 |G   D   |Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
         Am7                 Em7                D         Cadd9
They say hey, little boy you can't go where the others go
G                  D              Cadd9
  'Cause you don't look like they do
     Am7          Em7                  D             Cadd9
Said hey, old man how can you stand to think that way
        G                  D             Cadd9
Did you really think about it before you made the rules, he said, son
 
[Chorus]
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C                  Cadd9
             Some things will never change
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C         Cadd9
             Ah, but don't you believe them
 
|Am7  Em7  |D  Cadd9 |G   D   |Cadd9   |

G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
 
[Verse 3]
           Am7              Em7   D                    Cadd9
Well, they passed a law in '64 to give those who ain't got a little more
G        D         Cadd9
  But it only goes so far
            Am7               Em7
Because the law don't change another's mind
     D                  Cadd9      G       D             Cadd9
When all it sees at the hiring time is the line on the color bar
 
[Chorus]
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7  C                  Cadd9
             Some things will never change
G   Fmaj7  C                 Cadd9
             That's just the way it is
G   Fmaj7                 C             Cadd9
          That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
