| Some people talk when they ought to be listening
|
| Ramblin' on maybe they don’t know
|
| That you can’t learn anything when you’re mouth is moving
|
| That’s the way it is you better get used to it
|
| That’s just the way it goes
|
| Daddy told me back when I was just little
|
| Life’s gonna hand you nothing but a hard row to hoe
|
| The worlds gonna be unfair and nothing’s gonna come easy
|
| That’s the way it is you better get used to it
|
| That’s just the way it goes
|
| It is what it is you can’t run and you can’t hide
|
| You gotta keep on smiling keep on living and enjoy the ride
|
| Look all around and see what it’s come down to
|
| The brand new normal in the cities everywhere you go
|
| Everybody living their lives while looking back over their shoulder
|
| Yeah that’s the way it is we better get used to it
|
| That’s just the way it goes
|
| It is what it is you can’t run and you can’t hide
|
| You gotta keep on smiling keep on living and enjoy the ride
|
| Politicians talk when they ought to be listening
|
| Carrying on I guess they don’t know
|
| That you don’t learn a damn thing when you’re mouth is moving |
| That’s the way it is you better get used to it
|
| That’s just the way it goes |
