Intro
and Riff 2x
Verse
Now I'm gonna put something to ya
That may not sound too smart
Well you can use a hammer to mend a broken heart
He's traveled the whole world over
He's been here from the start
You can let me follow your neighbor
()
But still we're miles apart
and Riff 1x
Chorus
Well that's the way it is
That's the way it is
You don't like to say it is
But that's the way it is
and Riff 2x
Verse
Now I've got something that's for ya
Further on down the road
Cuz they ain't not gonna play to forgive me
When everything's been sold
It's like there's something at me
That's trying to follow me
It's the folks that have no ideals
That seem to have the most to say
and Riff 1x
Chorus
Well I say it is
That's the way it is
You don't like to say it is
But that's the way it is
They hold down ever since
That's the way it is
Yea that's the way it is
