The Way It Is

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 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

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
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, 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,

Not what I expected based on page 1!

The first page is well written. It appears as though the entire song will have a very good piano arrangement. Unfortunately ALL of the "actual" piano part gets dropped when the vocal part begins. In other words, the first page is accurately written for piano. The rest of the song (which you cant see in preview) has the piano playing the vocal line and very little of Bruce Hornsbys piano part from the recording.

The Way It Is

Such a cool song, but pretty difficult. What I've been able to play has sounded very cool. Once I've got the whole thing learned I'm sure it will be way worth the effort!
