Version 1 Version 2 
            [Intro]
Am G D C G D C

[Verse]
Am                G             D               C      
Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime
 G     D          C
'Cause they can't find a job
    Am                   G
The man in the silk suit hurries by                             
      D                    C           G         D             C
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes just for fun he says, "Get a job"

[Chorus]
G F C                     
       That's just the way it is
G F C
       Some things will never change
G F C                      
       That's just the way it is
G F C                    Am      G  D  C  G  D  C 
       But don't you believe them

[Verse 2]
         Am              G                     D         C
They say hey little boy you can't go where the others go
G                   D           C
  'Cause you don't look like they do
      Am          G                    D              C
Said hey old man how can you stand to think that way
        G             D                  C                        
Did you really think about it before you made the rules, he said, 

[Chorus]
G F C                      
Son,   That's just the way it is
G F C
       Some things will never change
G F C                      
       That's just the way it is
G F C                  Am      G  D  C  G  D  C
       But don't you believe them

          Am               G     D                          C 
Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more
G        D            C                  
  But it only goes so far 
            Am                G     
because the law don't change another's mind
     D                  C          G       D           C
When all it sees at the hiring time is the line on the color bar

[Final chorus]
G F C
       That's just the way it is
G F C
       Some things will never change
G F C
       That's just the way it is
G F C                                               Am  G  D  C  G  D  C
       Thats just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
