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"
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
Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said, hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
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"
Oh yeah
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 another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar, no, no
That's just the way it is
And 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

And my favorite song of his.



Many yrs ago, I saw Bruce and some of his bands members at a McDonald's here on the east side of town, very late one night.

My parents used to see her occasionally when they would have events with the JCC Dems. I met her once in the parking lot of the Beanery back in 2004.

Hope all's well with you my friend.

by fluoridating all the water than flows out both fountains several generations back! Will they now claim themselves martyrs for creating and maintaining, indeed advancing, their own mind-toxic environment? Save the children; change and save their future!
