The Way It Is - Edgar Jones And The Joneses

well i'm gonna put something to yer
that may not sound too smart
but you can't use a hammer, to mend a broken heart
you struggle the whole world over
to get here from the start
you can live next door to you're neighbour
and still be miles apart....yeah.

That's the way it is, that's the way it is
we don't like to say it is, but that's the way it is, ahhh yeah!

now i've got something else for yer
further on down the road
cause there aint nothing left for giving
when everything's been sold
it's like there's something out there
that's trying to spoil the way
for the folks who have no ideas
would sooner have the most to say....yeah.

like i say it is, that's the way it is
we don't like to say it is, but thats the way it is
the whole darn things a swizz, and that's the way it is
that's the way it is, yeah that's the way it is ahhh yeah!
