the way that it is

By: William Dire Wolff

Another pretty girl with the world in her hand
Running the show, but she don't understand
Barking out orders, devising big plans
Is the cause of the mischief, not the angels of Pan.

It's just the way that they think
It's just the way that they are
It's just the way that this life is going

Jimmy's on the corner trying to hustle some change
Watching the people just going insane
They're pointing the finger
But he's not to blame.

It's just the way that they think
It's just the way that they are
It's just the way that this life is going

A dollar won't buy a dime
And thinkin' aint the same as knowin'
The driver can't find a line
When the cold snow is blowin'.

Jenny's got a job at nice little shop
Buying everything and it's never going to stop
Her hand's in the jar and it ain't coming out
It's the way that is, and there ain't no doubt.

It's just the way that they think
It's just the way that they are
It's just the way that this life is going
