That's the Way That It Is (Live)

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 till 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

'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

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

'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...
