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 I've heard all your stories Of how the few can be strong And how you'll fight to the end Just to prove me wrong 'Cause that's the way that you are And you won't ever change it But don't come cryin' to me If your fanciful schemes Don't turn out like you planned 'Cause you're chasin' after something That keeps slippin' through your hand 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) That's the way that it is And you won't change it 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it (This is the way that it is) 'Cause that's the way that it is
