You say it's normal I say look again You call it progress Who is it helping? Prices keep rising Pay stays where it was You tell me be patient Patient for what? I hear what you say I see what you do And somewhere between the two The truth gets lost That's just the way it is That's what you always say That's just the way it is Like there's nothing we can change That's just the way it is No, I don't buy that line If this is the way it is Who made it this way? You change the headline You change the name You move the numbers But nothing really changed Some get the meeting Some wait outside Some get the answer Some don't get a reply I hear what you say I see what you do And somewhere between the two The truth gets lost That's just the way it is That's what you always say That's just the way it is Like there's nothing we can change That's just the way it is No, I don't buy that line If this is the way it is Who made it this way? Don't explain it to me I've seen enough Don't tell me it's complicated When the answer's always the same You call it policy You call it business You call it necessary I call it a choice That's just the way it is That's what you always say That's just the way it is Like there's nothing we can change That's just the way it is No, I don't buy that line If this is the way it is Who made it this way? Who made it this way? Don't tell me That's just the way it is
