Let me tell you about Men

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. That's just the way it is. ...

That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ha, 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'll never change
That's just the way it is'
Ha, but don't you believe them

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 man mind
When all it sees at the hiring lime
Is the line on the color bar

That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
