[Verse]
Am7              Em7
Standing in line marking time
D               Cadd9          G
Waiting for the welfare dime
D                       Cadd9
'Cause they can't buy a job
Am7                      Em7
The man in the silk suit hurries by
D                      Cadd9          G
As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
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
////    ////    ///     Somethings 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]
         Am7            Em7          D                Cadd9       G
They say hey little boy you can't go where the others go
                 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

Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more
       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
