That's the Way That It Is

I've been thinking about

What you said last night

And for all your fine words

You still don't have it right

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change

You can scream at me

But the powers that be

Won't ever hear your voice

'Cause they're lost

In their own importance

No

They'll never hear your voice

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

Now I've heard all your stories

Of how the few can be strong

How you'll fight to the end

Just to prove me wrong

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

So don't come cryin' to me

If your fanciful schemes

Don't turn out like you planned

'Cause you're chasing

After something

That keeps slipping

Through your hand

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

'Cause that's the way that it is
