That's the Way That It Is

Graham Bonnet, 1981

I've been thinking about

What she 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 it

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

Yes 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 to the end

Just to prove me wrong

'Cause that's the way that you are

Guess you'll never change

But don't come cryin' to me

If your fanciful schemes don't turn out like you planned

'Cause you're chasing after something

That keeps slipping through your hand

'Cause that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it

Yes 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

Yes that's the way that it is

And you won't ever change it
