The Way It Is

Well, I guess it ain't no secret

We can see it all

Some people they got nothing

Except their backs against the wall

(It's a shame, it's a shame)

Trouble everywhere

(Shame, shame)

They ain't even got clean water

Because we never share

That's the way it is

(That's just the way it is)

Yes, that's just the way it is

(It's a shame, it's a shame)

That's just the way it is

Now it's the same same old story

Now we got more than we need

It's a shame, yes it's a shame

When others just got poverty

You know this can't go on now

This can't go on like this no more

'Cause we're going down, down, down, down, down

Going down

Down, down, down, down, down
